Question

Complete the paragraph by using the correct form of the verb in the preterite or imperfect.

Mi padre (nacer) en Paraguay, pero no (vivir) ahí por mucho tiempo. Su padre (mi abuelo) (decidir) mudar la familia a Argentina y después a Puerto Rico. En Argentina él y su hermano (asistir) a las escuelas locales por ocho años, y después de graduarse ellos (mudarse) a Puerto Rico. En Puerto Rico, mi padre (conocer) a mi madre sólo tres días después de que (venir). Mi madre y mi padre (salir) juntos por ocho meses y entonces (casarse). Mi padre me (decir) un día: "Yo (saber) que tu madre (ser) el amor de mi vida el primer día que la (ver)".

Answer 1

1 = was born

2 = lived

3 = decided

4 = attended

5 = they moved

6 = met

7 = came

8 = they went out

9 = got married

10 = said

11 = knew

12 = would be

13 = saw

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the words are Simple Perfect Preterite Tense of the verbs look below for an example, I was: born, lived, decided, attended, moved, knew, came, dated, married, said, knew, and saw. ( anything that makes sense after " I was " is the correct form of the verb, another example would be " I was alive " or " I was sleeping " those are the correct way to use the verbs.

• The same explanation would be for other starter words like:
• You was " __ "
• He was " __ "
• She was " __ "

-------------------------------------

• You were " born "
• They were " married "

• We were " married "

Final Explanation, depending on the sentence, If for an example the first sentence on the question said " My Father ( nacer ) = to be born ) the correct form verb would be " was born " because " My Father was born " sounds correct but ( nacer ) isn't the correct form of the verb because does " My father to be born " makes sense? no, " was " would be the correct verb because it sounds more correctly. I hope the explanation was clear :)
