Supplied materials

  • Paper or a browser scratch area; no audio recording, account or private information is needed.
  • Complete the original present-time sentence for yo. Verb hacer means do/make. The intended action is “la tarea” (the task/homework). “yo ___”. Which missing form matches this subject? Candidate answers: (A) hace (B) hacemos (C) haces (D) hago.
  • Complete the original present-time sentence for tú. Verb hacer means do/make. The intended action is “la tarea” (the task/homework). “tú ___”. Which missing form matches this subject? Candidate answers: (A) hace (B) hacemos (C) haces (D) hago.

Learn the idea

Common verbs have forms that cannot all be produced from a regular ending rule. Learn supplied paradigms in meaningful contexts, then check subject agreement rather than treating every changed stem as an error. Hacer means do or make in these supplied tasks. Present forms include hago, haces, hace, hacemos and hacen. The yo form changes to hago while several other forms keep the visible hac stem.

Start with the explicitly supplied subject and choose its paradigm entry. Then preserve the supplied activity phrase la tarea, meaning the task/homework. Compare hago with hacemos rather than invent an extra e or regularize the yo form.

This is a common irregular yo pattern, not a rule that every verb ending in cer behaves identically. Spanish uses hacer in many fixed expressions, but the questions ask only the supplied task-making action and subject agreement.

  1. Copy the supplied example and underline its speaker, noun, time cue or evidence words.
  2. Apply the shown language rule; keep any required ending, accent or paired punctuation.
  3. Solve the changed independent check, then explain why one offered alternative fails.
  4. Complete all three new practice cases and use the model to correct the precise word or meaning.
Worked example

See the method in action

Supplied case: Complete the original present-time sentence for yo. Verb hacer means do/make. The intended action is “la tarea” (the task/homework). “yo ___”. Which missing form matches this subject? Candidate answers: (A) hace (B) hacemos (C) haces (D) hago. Solution: The present paradigm for this verb pairs yo with hago. This form must be learned rather than produced by an assumed fully regular pattern; the other options refer to a different grammatical person or number. Final result: hago. This is a common irregular yo pattern, not a rule that every verb ending in cer behaves identically. Spanish uses hacer in many fixed expressions, but the questions ask only the supplied task-making action and subject agreement.

haces

The present paradigm for this verb pairs tú with haces. This form must be learned rather than produced by an assumed fully regular pattern; the other options refer to a different grammatical person or number.

Take it further

Turn the third-person label “ella hace” into the speaker’s own yo statement, keeping hacer (do/make) present. The intended action is “la tarea” (the task/homework). Which replacement form is needed? Candidate answers: (A) hace (B) hacemos (C) haces (D) hago. Expected result: hago. The present paradigm for this verb pairs yo with hago. This form must be learned rather than produced by an assumed fully regular pattern; the other options refer to a different grammatical person or number.
