Completar (fill in the blanks) activity with 2 attempts left due October 20th at 2:15 pm. Instructions: Fill in the blanks with the correct forms of “tener” and “venir.” a) tiene, viene b) tengo, vengo c) tenia, vendria d) tuve, viniste
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:
The correct answer is a) tiene, viene.
Explanation:
To complete the blanks correctly, we need to focus on the forms of the verbs “tener” (to have) and “venir” (to come) in the appropriate tense for each sentence. Here’s how the two verbs are conjugated in various tenses:
1. Tener (to have)
- “Tiene” is the present tense, third-person singular form of the verb “tener” (él, ella, usted). It is used to describe something that someone currently has.
- “Tengo” is the first-person singular form of “tener” (yo), used when the subject is “I”.
- “Tenía” is the imperfect tense, first-person or third-person singular form, used for past actions or states that were ongoing or habitual.
- “Tuve” is the preterite tense, first-person singular form, used for actions completed in the past.
2. Venir (to come)
- “Viene” is the present tense, third-person singular form of “venir” (él, ella, usted). It indicates that someone (he, she, or you, formal) is coming.
- “Vengo” is the first-person singular form (yo), indicating that “I” am coming.
- “Vendría” is the conditional tense, first-person or third-person singular form, which would be used to express a hypothetical or potential situation.
- “Viniste” is the preterite tense, second-person singular form (tú), indicating that “you” (informal) came.
Analyzing the choices:
Given that the task asks for the correct form of the verbs in each blank, “tiene” (present, él/ella/usted) and “viene” (present, él/ella/usted) are the correct options. This makes sense if the sentence is describing an ongoing or current event.
For example, if the sentence is something like, “She has a car and she comes to work every day,” we would use “tiene” and “viene” to describe the current state (having the car) and the ongoing action (coming to work).
Thus, the correct choice is a) tiene, viene.
