@tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 5

@TuringTest

Answer 6

are you sure that first one isn't "...no nos gusta..." ?

Answer 7

@TuringTest oops yep sorry it's no nos gusta

Answer 8

that makes more sense
do you know what it says in english?

Answer 9

Yea, some of them don't make sense

Answer 10

Yes, I do but am i supposed to conjugate it?

Answer 11

I know the AR and the ER conjugation but I'm confused on the IR..

Answer 12

yes
"Thomas and I don't like the bus. ______ to walk."
what is the subject we will be conjugating, and what word do you think belongs?

Answer 13

Preferir... how do I conjugate it?

Answer 14

to nosotros form, stem-changing verbs don't change their stems, so "preferemos"

Answer 15

2) We ____ soccer when its a nice weather.
Which do you think it is?

Answer 16

preferir changes e -> ie
yo prefiero
tu prefieres
él/élla prefiera
nosotros preferemos
ellos/ellas prefieran

Answer 17

Jugamos
@tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 18

all stem-changing verbs do not change stems in nosotros

Answer 19

Correct

Answer 20

correct

Answer 21

3) When it rains they ___ play chess

Answer 22

ohh okay so
Cuando llueve ellos quieren jugar al ajedrez?

Answer 23

right?

Answer 24

Yes

Answer 25

yeah, though that sentence still sounds a little funny to me, you could also have chosen "empiezan"

Answer 26

@TuringTest noo
Tu empiezas la tarea temprano

Answer 27

wouldn't be an answer for #4 ?

Answer 28

if you can only use one for each, fine, but there's nothing wrong with the other sentence

Answer 29

Yup

Answer 30

@TuringTest Are you good at math? :>

Answer 31

jugar = u -> ue
dormir = o -> ue
preferir = e -> ie
poder = o -> ue
pensar = e -> ie
empezar = e -> ie
querer = e -> ie

those are all the rule you need
@tHe_FiZiCx99 I guess so, but please don't as me to do anything below calculus, there are plenty of other people here who can do that

Answer 32

I'll PM you, its simple. The sign confused me

Answer 33

k, don't clutter this post with it please

Answer 34

umm one more question...
@tHe_FiZiCx99 @TuringTest I am also confused on poder... Is that like power?

Answer 35

yes, or ability depending on how it's used

Answer 36

I'm aware of that. :>

depends how you use it.

Answer 37

si puedo hablar español
I can speak spanish.

Answer 39

@blue_eyedblondie which question are you in now?

Answer 40

i am on #5 and kinda stuck ...

Answer 41

I don't think you have to use each verb only once or the sentence won't make sense

Answer 42

Joaquin no ___ rest after his classes. __ read.

Answer 43

Joaquin no dormie descansar despues de las clases. Quiere leer.

Answer 44

I'm not sure about the first one

Answer 45

O.o whaat?

Answer 46

dormir = o -> ue
you did the wrong stem change
also that sentence makes no sense

Answer 47

you tried to say
Joaquin doesn't sleep rest after class. He wants/likes to read.

Answer 48

I believe it's: Joaquin couldn't ___ after his classes. __ read.

Answer 49

obviously "dormir" isn't the right verb, ad I don't think the other is the best choice either

Answer 50

Joaquin couldn't rest after his classes. He wants to read.

Answer 51

but then we';d have to use past tense...

Answer 52

True.. ^ but either way.. There is a blank before rest

Answer 53

Joaquin no ______ descansar despues de las clases. ______ leer.

Answer 54

I see a few ways, but this one seems best to me:
Joaquin doesn't like to rest after class. He prefers to read.

Answer 55

^ right

Answer 56

That sounds correct!

Answer 57

ok, now write it in spanish :)

Answer 58

Joaquin no quiere descansar despues de las clases. Prefiera leer.

Answer 59

Yup

Answer 60

muy bien
que sigue? :)

Answer 61

Wait... wouldn' it be prefiere?

Answer 62

oh sorry, I didn;t read close enough lol

Answer 63

6 is very easy, I'm sure you can figure it out :)

Answer 64

yes, it's prefiere

Answer 65

My classmates ___ that working in a garden is fun. I __ its boring.

Answer 66

okay

Mis companeros pensan que trabajar en el jardin es divertido. Yo penso que es aburrido.

Answer 67

stem change....

Answer 68

Would I be included with the classmates?
Mis companeros pensamos que trabajar en el jardin es divertido.

Answer 69

No, they only think that its fun, you think its boring

Answer 70

no, because you are not one of your classmates
they think one thing, you think another

Answer 71

How is the stem change wrong?

Answer 72

how did you change it?
I gave you a chart above

Answer 73

pensar = e -> ie

Answer 74

Mis companeros pensien que trabajar en el jardin es divertido. Yo penso que es aburrido.

Answer 75

nope you didn;t change the e, you changed the a...

Answer 76

I believe some of these have accents

Answer 77

pensian? what? Blonde moment..help

Answer 78

jardín is the only one missing an accent

Answer 79

Yes, piensan*

Answer 80

and the n for companeros

Answer 81
