<h2>
First Part.</h2>
In this part of the problem, we must fill in the blanks with the correct form of the given verbs. So:
1. Es necesario que tú limpies esa lámpara.
We use the subjunctive mood to express doubts, desires, unknown things, abstract things, and emotions. So limpies is the conjugation of the verb limpiar that matches the subject pronoun tú in the subjunctive.
2. Nos prohíben que vayamos al altillo.
This sentence also stands for the subjunctive. By the way, Subjunctive sentences often have parts linked by a relative pronoun such as que, quien, como. Here and in the previous sentence we use que.
3. Sus padres les recomiendan limpiar una vez por semana.
Limpiar is an infinitive verb, the most basic form of Spanish verbs. Recomiendan is the conjugation of the verb recomendar that matches the third person plural, so verb that comes after this conjugated verb must be given in infinitive form.
4. Patricia nos ruega que no pongamos la televisión muy alta.
Pongamos is also a conjugation in the subjunctive mood. It comes from the verb poner and matches the first person plural. As we said previously, a sentence that uses the relative pronoun que it is often a sentence given in the subjunctive mood.
5. Es mejor no vivir en este barrio.
This is a negative sentence because it uses the word no. Moreover, the verb vivir is given in infinitive form.
6. Mis amigos y yo deseamos tener un lavaplatos.
Tener is also an infinitive verb. Before this verb we have the word deseamos that comes from the verb desear, so verb that comes after this conjugated verb must be given in infinitive form.
<h2>Second Part.</h2>
SARA: Quiero saber tu opinión sobre el apartamento que visité ayer. ELENA: Es importante que tú vivas en una buena zona y que esté cómoda en tu casa.
SARA: El apartamento es bonito pero está en las afueras. Es necesario tener coche porque no hay transporte público.
ELENA: Te recomiendo que consigas una vivienda en el centro. Además, Federico y yo queremos que tu esposo y tú se muden a este barrio. Yo te ayudaré a buscar.
- Saber is an infinitive verb. As in some of the previous cases, this verb comes after another conjugated verb, which is quiero. Maybe you realize it is common to have an infinitive verb after other conjugated verb.
- Vivas is the conjugation of the verb vivir that matches the second person singular in the subjunctive mood.
- Esté is the conjugation of the verb estar that matches the third person singular in the subjunctive mood.
- Consigas is the conjugation of the verb conseguir that matches the second person singular in the subjunctive mood.
- Se muden is given in reflexive form because it uses the reflexive pronoun se. We use Reflexive Pronouns with a verb to point out that a person carries out an action <em>to </em>or<em> for himself or herself. </em>On the other hand, the verb is mudar and is being conjugated as muden that stands for the subjunctive mood.
