Grammar Practice: changing verbs from SHE/HE form to THEY form
The versión principal of the story from this unit (La bailarina) is written about one girl, Valentina. All of the verbs that she does are written in the SHE/HE form: baila (she dances), tiene (she has), camina (she walks), quiere (she wants) etc.
The versión alternativa of the story (Las bailarinas) adds a 2nd dancer to the story. Now many of the verbs tell what THEY do: bailan (they walk), tienen (they have), caminan (they walk), quieren (they want).
Do you notice how the verbs change? The SHE/HE form usually ends in the letter -e or -a. The THEY form adds the letter -n to the she/he form. This is how you change any verb in Spanish (in the present tense) from she or he does it to they do it.
In the sentences below, choose the correct verb form for each sentence, based on WHO is doing the verb. REMEMBER: if one person does the verb (SHE or HE), it will end in -e or -a; if more than one person does it (THEY), it will end in -n.
