Answer: Should we conjugate in preterite, present or imperfect? Please specify.
Explanation:
The instructions cannot be found on the question posted. However, we can infer that what is needed is to complete with the correct form of the verb.
1. <em><u>Lave </u></em> (lavar) la ropa con el nuevo detergente. 2. <u><em>Salga </em></u> (salir) de su casa y disfrute del aire libre. 3. <em><u>Diga </u></em>(decir) todo lo que piensa hacer hoy. 4. <u><em>No beba </em></u>(beber) demasiado en la fiesta. 5. <em><u>Venga </u></em>(venir) preparado para pasarlo bien. 6. <em><u>No se vaya </u></em>(irse) No sin probar la langosta de Maine. 7. Ustedes <em><u>no coman </u></em>(comer) No con la boca abierta. 8. <em><u>Oigan </u></em>(oír) música clásica en casa. 9. <em><u>No pongan </u></em>(poner) los codos (elbows) en la mesa. 10. }<u>Traigan </u>(traer) un regalo a la fiesta de cumpleaños. 11. <u><em> Vean </em></u>(ver) programas de televisión educativos. 12. <u><em>Conduzcan </em></u>(conducir) con precaución(caution) por la ciudad
All the words with which the gaps were filled are written in present simple, using an imperative form (that is, giving orders)because the context tells us that these are a list of things that someone should be doing.
Moreover,in sentences 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 the verbs are conjugated with the first person singular: "I". Whereas sentence 7 explicitly contains the plural subject pronoun "ustedes" = "you". The rest of the sentences don't specify a subject pronoun, therefore we infer that they should be formed with the latest subject pronoun used, that is "ustedes" = "you"
