Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the auxiliary verb needed to form the compound tenses in Spanish?

Answer: haber

To form the compound perfect tenses, the verb haber + the past participle is used.

2. Which is the present indicative first person of hablar, which in Spanish is the word meaning to talk?

Answer: hablo

Hablo means "I talk", or "I am talking". Hablara is the imperfect subjunctive, while habia hablado is the pluperfect, and hable is the preterite.

3. What is the conditional perfect first person of the verb aplaudir (to applaud), which in Spanish means to applaud?

Answer: habria aplaudido

Habria aplaudido is translated as "I would have applauded". Aplaudi is the preterite, and means "I applauded'. Aplaudiria is the conditional, and aplaudo is the present.

4. The present subjunctive of the verb ir is vaya, vayas, vaya, vayamos, vayais, vayan? (Ir in Spanish means to go).

Answer: True

The subjunctive mood is used to express will, emotion, ect.

So, using the subjunctive of ir:

Es muy importante que vayas al hotel ahora mismo.

It is important that you go to the hotel right now.

The subjunctive is expressing viewpoint.

5. What is the present perfect second person singular indicative of the verb tener? (Tener is one of the two verbs in Spanish that means "to have".)

Answer: has tenido

Has tenido is translated as "You have had". Hubiera tenido is the pluperfect subjunctive, habias tenido is simply the pluperfect. Tuve is simply the preterite.

6. Mandaba is the imperfect tense, first person singular in Spanish for the verb mandar.

Answer: True

The imperfect is translated as "I was...", "You were..." Mandaba would mean I" was sending".

7. Which of these is NOT a mood of verb in Spanish?

Answer: Optative

The indicative is used to describe definite events. The imperative is used to give orders. The subjunctive is used to display will, influence, and doubt. In some languages, such as Greek, the optative is used to express wishes, but in Spanish, the subjunctive takes over that.

8. For verbs ending in -ar, which two tenses have the same nosotros form? In Spanish nosotros means us. It may help to think of other languages.

Answer: Preterite and Present

The preterite and present's nosotros (us) form end in -amos. The other tenses do not do this.

9. Ser is one of the two verbs in Spanish that means "to be" (the other is estar). What is the present subjunctive of ser?

Answer: sea, seas, sea

Soy is in the present indicative tense. Era is in the imperfect indicative tense, and fui is the preterite.

10. "Para el martes, habre hecho todas las preparaciones" Hecho is one of the irregular past participles in Spanish. Which verb in Spanish does it come from and which tense is the sentence in?

Answer: hacer; future perfect

The future perfect is translated as I will have... You will have...
Thus, "para el martes, habre hecho todas las preparaciones", means "By Tuesday, I will have made all the preparations".
