Answer 1

Answer:

Since this is a question with multiple questions, I will answer each one with a short explanation, if it applies.

1. Yes. In this sentence: "It´s doubtful that it will rain", " Es dudoso que vaya a llover", the subjunctive, a grammatical structure that would be equivalent to modal verbs in that they establish possibility, certainty, wish, etc., needs to be used to express such a thing.

2. The best answer to this question: ___ la verdad, since its an informal command, it would use the first option, therefore, it would be thus: Di la verdad. This option would be the correct one because it is the only one that actually expresses a command and in a personal, and therefore informal, way.

3. In this case, the form of the sentence is grammatically correct, because the structure is allowed. If translated, it would be: "Come with me".

4. Although the most exact translation for this sentence would be: "Yo solía (used to) ir al parque todos los días...", the one sentence that best approaches to the ideal, given the structural composition would be A: Yo iba al parque todos los días cuando era niño.

5. Again, the best translation for the sentence: You ate my apple, would be "Tú te (you) comiste mi manzana", the one sentence that approaches the ideal would be D: Tú comiste mi manzana.

6. Technically, in this case, both A and B would apply, and the difference would be on the level of familiarity with a person. In the first case, A: ¿Has tratado de bucear? would be used with a person who you are familiar with, as it is highly personal. The second choice, B: ¿Ha tratado de bucear? would also be acceptable if you are not too familiar with the person you are asking. Both would be grammatically correct and the equivalent to the sentence in English.
