The sentence says: In the morning, we go to church and ____ the sermon. "Oír" means "to hear" and "poner" means "to put," so "oír" is the correct verb. Since the subject is "we" (nosotros), you must conjugate the verb in the second-person plural form: oímos.
2. The correct answer is "salimos."
The sentence says: At noon, we ____ the church and we come to this park. "Decir" means "to say" and "salir" means "to leave," so "salir" is the correct verb. The subject pronoun is still "we," so the correct conjugation (second-person plural) is "salimos."
3. The correct answer is "trae."
The sentence says: My Aunt Gloria ___ some sandwiches... "Traer" means "to bring" and "ver" means "to see," so "traer" is the correct verb. The subject pronoun is now third person singular (she - ella), so "traer" becomes "trae."
4. The correct answer is "traigo."
The previous sentence continues: ...and, since I like music, I ___ a radio. "Traer" means "to bring" and "hacer" means "to make" or "to do," so the correct verb is "traer." The subject pronoun is I (yo), so the correct conjugation is "traigo" (in the present tense, this verb is only irregular in the first-person singular form).
5. The correct answer is "pongo."
The sentence says: I don't ____ the music on too loud. "Hacer" means "to make" or "to do," and "poner" means "to put," so "poner" is the correct verb. Like "traer," "poner" is irregular in the first-person singular form for present tense: pongo.
6. The correct answer is "salgo."
The sentence says: Later on, I ___ with my friends to the movie theater... "Salir" means "to leave" and "ver" means "to see," so "salir" is the correct verb. Like "traer" and "poner," "salir" will be irregular in the first-person singular form for present tense: salgo.
7. The correct answer is "vimos."
The previous sentence continues: ...and we ____ a movie. "Decir" means "to say" and "ver" means "to see," so "ver" is the correct verb. The verb should still be conjugated with the "we" subject pronoun (second-person plural), so the correct answer is "vimos."
8. For the four sentences (oraciones), you could talk about how you go to Mexico to play a tennis match. For example: Salimos para Mexico porque somos en el partido de tenis, y vamos a jugar contra otro partido (We're leaving for Mexico because we're on the tennis team, and we're going to play against another team). You could continue by talking about how you won against a girl named Alejandra, etc.
Benjamin Lee Whorf claimed that the structure of the language we speak determines our world view, thought and even our cognition. In oder words the way you interprete the world depends on the language you use to think.
There are two versions of this controvertial theory: the strong version, that says language determines thought and that linguistic categories and the way the are combined limit and determine our cognitive categories; the weak version claims that linguistic categories and usage have influence to some extent on thoughts and decisions.
This principle was first widely accepted in the begining of this the 20th century, but lost acceptance with Noam Chomsky's formulated arguments against it.
