Review: Build and Negate Regular Present Actions

Regular present endings connect a verb’s stem with its subject. These supplied actions occur now or habitually; a statement’s negative form keeps that agreement while changing its claim.

Unit review questions
1. Repair this deliberately flawed regular ar present sentence without changing the speaker: “tú estudio”. Infinitive estudiar means study; context today. Which replacement verb restores agreement?
Need a hint?
  • Use the exact supplied subject before selecting an ending.
  • Do not keep ar when a finite present verb is requested.
2. Repair this deliberately flawed regular er present sentence without changing the speaker: “tú aprendo”. Infinitive aprender means learn; context today. Which replacement verb restores agreement?
Need a hint?
  • Remove er, then add the subject’s ending.
  • Nosotros uses emos here, not the ar ending amos or the ir ending imos.
3. Repair this deliberately flawed regular ir present sentence without changing the speaker: “tú escribo”. Infinitive escribir means write; context today. Which replacement verb restores agreement?
Need a hint?
  • Remove ir from vivir or escribir and add the appropriate subject ending.
  • An ir infinitive is not a command to use the verb ir.
4. Negate only the supplied statement while preserving its subject and action: “Tú hablas español.” Which full revision follows the simple no-before-verb pattern?
Need a hint?
  • Identify the finite verb and insert no immediately before it in the provided statement.
  • Do not turn no into an English auxiliary such as do not.

Candidate answers: (A) lee (B) leemos (C) lees (D) leo. 3. A third-person label says “ella recibe”. Convert it to the person speaking about themself, yo, preserving recibir (receive) and the regular ir present, context today. Which replacement verb is needed? Candidate answers: (A) recibe (B) recibes (C) recibimos (D) recibo. 4. Negate only the supplied statement while preserving its subject and action: “Yo abro la puerta.” Which full revision follows the simple no-before-verb pattern?

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Use the exact supplied situation and speaker rather than personal details.
  • Show the relevant word ending, evidence phrase, time cue or meaning distinction.
  • Write all four requested results with accents and punctuation.
  • Explain one rejected alternative and check that meaning remains faithful to the input.
Compare with a model response

1. miro. The supplied subject yo needs the o ending in this regular ar present pattern. Remove ar from mirar, leaving mir, then add o: miro. The other offered forms belong to different subjects. 2. leo. The supplied subject yo needs the o ending in this regular er present pattern. Remove er from leer, leaving le, then add o: leo. The other offered forms belong to different subjects. 3. recibo. The supplied subject yo needs the o ending in this regular ir present pattern. Remove ir from recibir, leaving recib, then add o: recibo. The other offered forms belong to different subjects. 4. Yo no abro la puerta. The finite verb in Yo abro la puerta. stays conjugated for its original subject. Place no immediately before it: Yo no abro la puerta. The other options leave the claim positive, put no at the end, or change the named speaker.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
