Good afternoon friends! My name is Elena and I live in El Salvador. I wake up at six in the morning, listen to music and have a large radio. In the afternoons, I shower and get dressed. I go with my friends to the market. Before I go, I comb my hair, wash my face, and put on makeup.

There are a number of Spanish verbs which are regular in the present tense in all but the first person singular. These are known as "g verbs" or "yo go verbs" because the first person singular requires an unexpected g and the conjugation then ends in -go.

• From the paragraph we have the word "tengo" that is the conjugation of the verb "tener" for the first person singular (yo) in the present indicative tense. "Tengo" means I have.

Answer 2

Answer: Have

Explanation:

"Yo-go" verbs are Dpanish irregular verbs that when conjugated in the present indicative always end in "go" in the first person singular (for the subject pronoun yo).

From the paragraph we have the word "tengo" that is the conjugation of the verb "tener" for the first person singular (yo) in the present indicative tense. "Tengo" means I have.

Translation: Good afternoon friends! My name is Elena and I live in El Salvador. I wake up at six in the morning, listen to music and have a large radio. In the afternoons, I shower and get dressed. I go with my friends to the market. Before I go, I comb my hair, wash my face and put on makeup.
