Fill in the blank: Juan ___ cómicos de manga.

Back

lee

Answer explanation

When talking about one other person, use the él/ella form, since you are talking about just one person. For the verb leer, even though it looks weird with the two E's, it's still a regular verb, so drop the er and add the correct ending! In this case, the correct ending is the él/ella ending, which is e.

Fill in the blank: Mis amigos y yo _______ en el parque cuando hace buen tiempo.

Back

pasamos

Answer explanation

When you're talking about someone else + yourself, use the nosotros form! "Mis amigos y yo" = "My friends and I." If you were talking about "My friends and I" in English, the short way to say that would be "we," and nosotros = "we" en español! Whenever you see "[someone else] y yo" in Spanish, the correct form to use is the nosotros form.
