Answer:
Carlos: Hola, señor Hernando, ¿qué 1. _necesito_ yo en la clase de geometría?
Señor Hernando: 2. _Necesitas_ la regla y un cuaderno.
Carlos: Oh, ¿yo 3. _necesito_ la calculadora?
Señor Hernando: Si, tú 4. _necesitas_ una regla, una calculadora y un cuaderno.
Explanation:
The verb 'necesitar' in Spanish means 'to need' in English. The conjugation in the present tense would be:
Yo <em>necesito </em>Nosotros/as <em>necesitamos</em>
Tú <em>necesitas </em>Vosotros/as <em>necesitáis</em>
Él/ella/Usted <em>necesita </em>Ellos/ellas/Ustedes <em>necesitan</em>
<em />
In this particular example, when Carlos is refering to what he needs (yo), he uses <em>necesito.</em> When señor Hernando is refering to what Carlos needs (tú), he uses <em>necesitas</em>.
