Grammar - Verbs Olympics!

This Spanish Difficult Review quiz is the fourth and final athletic verb quiz in this series. That means you have made it to the verbs Olympics! As you may recall, the first quiz was titled Grammar: Verbs 2K Run!, the second quiz was Grammar: Verbs Marathon! and the third quiz was Grammar: Verbs Triathlon!. If you have not already visited and taken each of those quizzes, now would be a good time to go back and look at them. They are each part of the warm-up that was leading you to the verbs Olympics!

As was mentioned in the third quiz of this series, you are in the process of training your brain to go quickly back and forth between English and Spanish. Here you will be going from Spanish to English. The more you practice going back and forth, the more easily both languages will flow for you – especially when it comes to actually speaking the languages.

1 .
Miguel y Davíd TOMARON el dinero y CORRIERON.
they will take, they will run
they took, they run
they took, they ran
they take, you ran
This sentence reads: Michael and David took the money and ran. Next you need to determine the pronoun that can replace Michael and David. That would be they. The verbs are both in the past tense which means that the first, second and last answers can be eliminated as they each show different tenses. The third answer is the correct tense and shows the correct pronoun.
2 .
Él BEBIÓ la leche y luego él COMIÓ las galletas.
he believed, he came
he drank, he ate
he beacons, he commits
he became, he carried
This sentence reads: He drank milk and then ate cookies. The pronoun for both verbs has been given, i.e., he. The verbs are both in the past tense. You also now know that bebió means drank and comió means ate. The second answer is, therefore, the correct answer.
3 .
Helen PONDRÁ las flores en la mesa y luego IRÁ a casa.
Helen will put, she will go
she puts, she goes
Helen pondered, she went
she will put, she will go
This sentence reads: Helen will put the flowers on the table and then she will go home. Next you need to determine which pronoun can replace Helen. That would be she. The correct answer must show the pronoun form which means that the first and third answers can be eliminated. Both verbs are in the future tense which means the second answer can now be eliminated. The last answer is the correct tense, the correct translation and shows the correct pronoun.
4 .
El sol HACE mi abuela TOSER.
he makes, she tosses
it makes, it coughs
it makes, to cough
the sun has, grandmother takes
This one might be a little tricky. The sentence reads: The sun makes my grandmother cough. This means that the first verb hace means makes and is in the present tense. The next verb is cough. The grandmother will cough if she is in the sun but we do not know this is happening now. It is not an active verb so it remains a base verb. In other words, the literal translation would be: The sun makes my grandmother [have to] cough. When 'to' comes before a verb, it is a base form verb. The pronoun for sun is the indirect pronoun of 'it'. The third answer shows the correct verbs, the correct translation and the correct pronouns.
5 .
ASUMÍ lo peor, pero lo ERA lo mejor.
I assumed, it was
I assume, it is
he assumed, he was
he assumes, it was
This sentence reads: I assumed the worst but it was the best. The first verb’s form shows you that it is in the 'I' pronoun form. This now means that the third and last answers can be eliminated. The second verb has 'lo' before it and 'lo' is the indirect pronoun for 'it'. Both verbs are in the past tense. The first answer is the correct tense and shows the correct pronouns.
6 .
Los niños BAILARÁN y los profesores CANTARÁN.
the children will pay, the teachers will teach
they bailed, they carried
they will dance, they will sing
they began, they entertained
This sentence reads: The children will dance and the teachers will sing. Next you need to determine which pronoun can replace the children (that would be they) and the teachers (will also be they). The correct answer must show the pronoun form which means that the first answer can be eliminated. Both verbs are in the future tense. The third answer is the correct tense, the correct translation and shows the correct pronouns.
7 .
Nuestro equipo GANÓ, pero su equipo PERDIÓ.
I won, he lost
it won, it lost
our won, his lost
they won, they lost
This sentence reads: Our team won, but their team lost. Next you need to determine the pronoun that can replace our [nuestro] team (that would be they) and their [su] team (would also be they). Both verbs are in the past tense. The last answer is the correct tense and shows the correct pronouns.
8 .

he is able, he will answer
he opens, he announces
he acts, he performs
it scares, he screams
This sentence reads: The priest opens the service with a prayer before he announces the topic. Next you need to determine the pronoun that can replace the priest. That would be he. The second pronoun he has been given. Both verbs are in the present tense. The second answer is the correct tense, correct translation and correct pronoun form.
9 .

they will divorce, we will resolve
they divorced, they resolved
we will divorce, we will solve
This sentence reads: Robert and I will divorce if we solve everything. You’re you need to determine the pronoun that can replace Robert and I. Since 'I' is included the pronoun will be we for both verbs. The first verb is in the future tense and the second verb is in the present tense. This means that the second, third and last answers can be eliminated as they show incorrect verb tenses and pronouns. The first answer is the correct tense, the correct translation and the correct pronouns.

you try, I made
you talk, it has
you take, he makes

This sentence reads: You touch my heart and that makes me happy. The pronoun of 'you' [singular formal] has been given for the first verb. For the second verb, the word 'that' (que) becomes the indirect pronoun 'it'. Both verbs are in the present tense. The first answer can be eliminated as it shows a past tense verb and the third answer can be eliminated as it shows the pronoun for he. The last answer is the correct tense, the correct translation and the correct pronouns.
