How do you know which endings you should use in Spanish for different tenses? Er, ir, ar?

Verbs with -er, -ir, and -ar endings are generally infinitive verbs which one must conjugate according to a subject. How those infinitives are conjugated is dependent upon the subject's gender and plurality or singularity.

Take the infinitive seguir (meaning "to follow"). If you have the feminine singular subject ella, the verb seguir must take on a singular form; present tense would be sigue. Different tenses have different conjugations. In most cases, you just need to memorize the different conjugations for gender and tense.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Ana y Javier salieron de casa para comprar una impresora. Llegaron a casa con su impersora nueva leyeron las instrucciones. "Pon el disco en tu computadora. Luego conecta el cable USB. Sigue las instrucciones de la pantalla y haz una prueba de impresión".

Ana y Javier se miraron. ¡La impresora no funcionaba! Llamaron al servicio técnico y después de estar al teléfono por dos horas, la impresora funcionó. Y Ana y Javier se abrazaron de alegría.

Explanation:

You have to use the aproppiate word:

Ana y Javier salieron de casa (1)(por, para, de) comprar una impresora. Llegaron a casa con (2)(mi, tu, su) impresora nueva y leyeron las instrucciones: "Pon (3)(el disco, la arroba, el teclado) en (4)(mi, tu, su) computadora. Luego conecta el cable USB. Sigue las instrucciones de la pantalla y haz una prueba de impresión (printing)".

Ana y Javier (5)(te, nos, se) miraron. ¡La impresora no funcionaba! Llamaron al servicio técnico (technical support) y después de estar al teléfono (6)(por, para, con) dos horas, la impresora funcionó. Y Ana y Javier (7)(se, nos, me) abrazaron de alegría.

In 2, 4, 5, 7: The unstressed personal pronouns are those that function as a direct or indirect complement (I have already told you: "te" OI "lo" OD) or as part of the pronominal verbs: “me arrepiento”.

The forms of singular me and te and those of plural nos and you are used without distinction of gender, and the same as a direct rather than indirect complement, so it is necessary to be able to distinguish when they are one and when another, attend not only to the nature of the verb, but also, in most cases, to the context.

In 1 and 6: You have to choose the accurate preposition. In 1): "para" is used here as "to", and in 6) "por" is used here as "during"

In 3: They bought a new printer, so they have to put the disc in the computer in order to install the printer.
