Answer:
Hola, Daniel:
Estoy con Mario en la biblioteca. Los exámenes SON mañana. Por las noches Mario y yo no DORMIMOS mucho porque tenemos que estudiar. Tú IMAGINAS cómo estamos, ¿no? Yo CREO que los exámenes serán muy difíciles. Tengo muchas ganas de volver al pueblo. Cuando LLEGUE al pueblo puedo descansar. Yo PREFIERO el pueblo a la ciudad. ESPERO volver pronto. Si Mario y yo compramos pasajes de autobús PODRÍAMOS pasar el fin de semana contigo. En casa mis hermanos y yo JUGAMOS al fútbol en mis ratos libres. Nos vemos,
Paco.
Step-by-step explanation:
This exercise is presented as a little letter sent by someone called Paco; as you can read, Paco is telling Daniel (his friend) what has he been doing in his routine at school and home. To complete the blanks you need to fully understand the meaning of the words, sentences and the entire paragraph because you are also asked to identify in which time the verb needs to be conjugated.
Here there are some tips you need to have in mind at the moment of produce new sentences in Spanish; if you follow them it will be easy for you making grammatical texts:
- To have a complete sentence we always need to have a CONJUGATED VERB
- The CONJUGATED VERB always must match in GENRE and NUMBER with the object of the sentence
- The CONJUGATED VERB always must match in GENRE AND NUMBER with the indirect object of the sentence (who receives the object of the sentence)
- The CONJUGATED VERB always must match in NUMBER with the subject of the sentence.
Now, here we have our answers; notice how the verb conjugation responds in genre and number to the context of the sentence:
1. SON
2. DORMIMOS
3. IMAGINAS
4. CREO
5. LLEGUE
6. PREFIERO
7. ESPERO
8. PODRÍAMOS
9. JUGAMOS.
