Answer 2

4- sigo

5- (te) pido

6- voy

7- vamos

Step-by-step explanation:

In this exercise, you have to conjugate properly in the present the verbs between brackets. Here follows the model:

SILVIA Sí, (4) sigo trabajando allí. CLAUDIO ¿Y puedes conseguir boletos? SILVIA Sí, pero no es fácil conseguir los boletos. CLAUDIO Vamos, Silvia, por favor. Yo nunca (te) pido favores. SILVIA Está bien, voy a conseguir los boletos. CLAUDIO ¡Gracias! Estoy feliz. ¡Mis amigos y yo vamos a ver un partido del Real Madrid en el estadio!

Further explanation of the uses of the present tense in Spanish:

-In Sí, (4) sigo trabajando allí, the verb seguir is conjugated in the present of the 1st person singular, as the subject is "I" (Silvia is speaking of herself). The verb is followed by another verb "trabajando", which forms a verb phrase "sigo trabajando" that indicates a habitual and continous action (Silvia continues working at a certain place).

-In CLAUDIO Vamos, Silvia, por favor. Yo nunca (te) pido favores, the verb pedir is conjugated in the present of the 1st person singular, as the subject is "I" (Claudio is speaking of himself) to indicate a habitual action or an action that happens frequently. Besides, the verb can be preceded by the personal pronoun "te" to indicate the receiver of the action (Claudio does not ask for favours to Silvia).

-In SILVIA Está bien, voy a conseguir los boletos, the verb ir is conjugated in the present of the first person singular to refer to an event happening in soon. This is a case of the near future verb tense in Spanish formed by the verb ir + preposition a + infinitive verb (voy a conseguir los boletos) and in this case, it indicates a compromise on the part of Silvia (she will get the tickets).

-In ¡Mis amigos y yo vamos a ver un partido del Real Madrid en el estadio!, the verb ir is conjugated in the present of the 1st person plural. This is also a case of the near future verb tense in Spanish formed by the verb ir + preposition a + infinitive verb (vamos a ver). It refers to an action that will happen soon: as Silvia will get the tickets for Claudio, he will go to the match with his friends.
