This requires understanding Spanish verb conjugation, specifically in the preterite tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we must identify the necessary verb tense. The word&nbsp;<strong>ayer<\/strong>, meaning &#8220;yesterday,&#8221; is a key indicator. It signals a specific, completed action that took place in the past. In Spanish, the tense used for such actions is the&nbsp;<strong>preterite tense<\/strong>&nbsp;(pret\u00e9rito indefinido). This tense is used for events that have a clear beginning and end in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we need to conjugate the verb&nbsp;<strong>almorzar<\/strong>&nbsp;(to have lunch) according to the subject of the sentence. The subject is&nbsp;<strong>t\u00fa<\/strong>, which is the informal singular &#8220;you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The verb &#8220;almorzar&#8221; is an &#8220;-ar&#8221; verb. The standard preterite endings for regular &#8220;-ar&#8221; verbs are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>yo: -\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>t\u00fa: -aste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00e9l\/ella\/usted: -\u00f3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>nosotros\/as: -amos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>vosotros\/as: -asteis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ellos\/ellas\/ustedes: -aron<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the subject &#8220;t\u00fa,&#8221; the correct ending is&nbsp;<strong>-aste<\/strong>. We take the stem of the verb, &#8220;almorz-,&#8221; and add this ending to get&nbsp;<strong>almorzaste<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that while &#8220;almorzar&#8221; is a stem-changing verb in the present tense (o -&gt; ue, as in &#8220;yo almuerzo&#8221;), it does not have a stem change in the preterite tense. It does have a spelling change in the &#8220;yo&#8221; form (yo almorc\u00e9) to preserve the &#8216;s&#8217; sound, but this does not affect the &#8220;t\u00fa&#8221; form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, combining these elements, the full, grammatically correct sentence is:&nbsp;<strong>\u00bfA qu\u00e9 hora almorzaste t\u00fa ayer?<\/strong>, which translates to &#8220;At what time did you have lunch yesterday?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/learnexams-banner6-40.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-278693\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct answer is&nbsp;almorzaste.
