Question

Los artistas mexicanos _____ cosas muy bonitas de vidrio usado.

A. hizo

B. hicimos

C. hicieron

D. hiciste

Answer 1

okay so in this case it is past tense so hizo is present, hicimos is past but it involves 2 people and hicieron is exactly the same as hicimos but with 2 or more people. Hiciste is past tense but it is singular

Answer 2

Is it D.

Answer 3

Not necessarily, remember that it says above "The Mexican Artists....

Answer 4

Ohhh how do I know if it's 2 or more though?

Answer 5

We need to know how to conjugate the verb "hacer" into the past tense:

Here, let me show you all of the different forms of "hacer,"
in the past tense:

(Yo) Hice

(Tu) Hiciste

(El/Ella/Usted) Hizo

(Nosotros) Hicimos

(Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes) Hicieron

Answer 6

It would be good for you to memorize that list.

Now, let's take a look at the sentence:

"Los artistas mexicanos _____ cosas muy bonitas de vidrio usado."

~~~~~~~~~

Can you tell me the subject of the sentence?

Answer 7

Man I need to learn how to teach spanish, I have the knowledge but Im a horrible teacher xD

Answer 8

You told her "hizo" is present tense, which isn't true.

You also told her "hicimos" involves two people, which isn't always true.

Answer 9

Yes thats my point, when i speak spanish I do it just fine, but when it comes down to explaining the rules of the grammer I don't do it quite well

Answer 10

@AngelCriner

Are you following along here?

Answer 11

Not really @InYourHead and oooh I see @JA1

Answer 12

The subject of the sentence is whoever is doing the action.

Answer 13

Take a look at this example sentence:

"I did the homework."

The SUBJECT would be "I."

The VERB is "did."

And who did the homework?
"I" did.

That's why "I" is the subject.

You see?

Answer 14

Is the subject the artists?

Answer 15

Yes!

Answer 16

"Los artistas mexicanos."

Answer 17

did you guys see my answe go down too?

Answer 18

So, we know that "los artistas mexicanos" is the SUBJECT.

It is a PLURAL and MASCULINE subject.

So, which form of "hacer" should we use?

Answer 19

Just take a look at the list I typed for you earlier.

Answer 20

Still confused... I'm thinking hizo >.<

Answer 21

@JA1 what do you mean? lol

Answer 22

It's not hizo.

Let's take a look at the list again:


(Yo) Hice

(Tu) Hiciste

(El/Ella/Usted) Hizo

(Nosotros) Hicimos

(Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes) Hicieron

~~~~~~~~~~~

You see those words in parentheses?
They're all SUBJECTS.

YO means I

TU means YOU

EL means HE
ELLA means SHE

NOSOTROS means WE

ELLOS/ELLAS means THEY

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since the subject of our sentence was "los artistas mexicanos,"
which subject from the list would match it?

Answer 23

HICIERON

Answer 24

Why did you choose that??

Answer 25

I'm too impulsive lmao I'm sorry, I really didn't think about it >_< but if the person's saying mexican artists excluding himself wouldn't it be they instead of we?

Answer 26

Right, it would be.

Since we're talking about "los artistas mexicanos,"
we're talking about more than one person.

Instead of saying "the mexican artists,"
we could say "they."
It would be the same thing. It matches.

Answer 27

So it is hiceiron?

Answer 28

"Hicieron." Yes.

Answer 29

Yayyyy thank you [:
