The cheerleaders SCREAM as loud as they can - but what is the Spanish verb 'to scream', and can you conjugate it?

Grammar - Verbs Triathlon!

This Spanish Medium Review quiz will step things up a notch with the athletic approach to conjugating verbs. That step: the verbs triathlon! The first quiz in this athletic series was Grammar: Verbs 2K Run! while the second quiz was Grammar: Verbs Marathon!. They were jammed pack with new and old verbs and how they should be conjugated in both the present and the past tense – paying particularly close attention to the irregular forms of the verbs. If you have not already taken each of those quizzes, please do so now as they will provide you with an immense amount of preparation to be able to run a triathlon.

Again, as in the prior two quizzes, only the irregular forms of the verbs have been conjugated for you. The regular forms of the AR, ER and IR verbs should be well understood at this point. Therefore, this triathlon quiz is now going to introduce you to 15 new verbs. So, with that in mind, let’s dive straight into the triathlon vocabulary of verbs!

1 .

The Huffington Post PRINTED the details of the Presidential election.

imprimisteis

imprimen

imprimí

imprimió

This sentence has a past tense verb. The second answer is a present tense form of the verb so it can be eliminated. Next you need to determine the proper pronoun for the Huffington Post. Be careful here. You might first believe it to be they but that is not correct. The Huffington Post is a singular object. It is not a 'he, she or you' but it is an 'it'. Therefore, it is an indirect object pronoun and the verb for the indirect object pronoun here would be 'imprimió' for 'it printed'. What is 'it'? 'The Huffington Post.'
