Answers
Choose the right form
- El viernes hice la cena.“I made” is the yo form: hacer → hice, with the I and an -e.
- Mi vecino vino con vino.Mi vecino is él (he): venir → vino, “he came”.
- Hacer, hice, hizo, querer, quise, quiso.Hacer keeps its sound with a z in the él form: hizo.
- Le dije la verdad a Marta.“I told” is yo: decir → dije, with the J.
- Y ella trajo pasteles, ¡qué bien!Ella (she) takes the él form: traer → trajo.
- Conducir, conduje, condujo.Conducir is in the J group, so it isn't regular: condujo, with no accent.
- Traducir, traduje, tradujo.Traducir goes like conducir, with the J: traduje, and no accent.
Every verb from this song is in its group, with its infinitive, yo and él forms, in the verb tables on the song's page.
