To solve this puzzle, we need to conjugate the five Spanish verbs provided in the top row (
creer,
espiar,
contestar,
deshacer,
construir) into the correct forms based on the subjects listed in the left column.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each verb:
1. Verb: Creer (to believe)
*
yo: The "I" form is
creo.
*
tú: The "you" informal form is
crees.
*
él/ella/Ud.: The "he/she/you formal" form is
cree.
*
nosotros/nosotras: The "we" form is
creemos.
*
vosotros/vosotras: The "you all" (Spain) form is
creéis (note the accent).
*
ellos/ellas/Uds.: The "they/you all" form is
creen.
2. Verb: Espiar (to spy)
*Note: This is an -iar verb that often takes an accent on the 'i' in certain forms to keep the sound distinct.*
*
yo:
espío (accent on the i).
*
tú:
espías (accent on the i).
*
él/ella/Ud.:
espía (accent on the i).
*
nosotros/nosotras:
espiamos (no accent needed here because the stress is naturally on the 'a').
*
vosotros/vosotras:
espiáis (accent on the i).
*
ellos/ellas/Uds.:
espían (accent on the i).
3. Verb: Contestar (to answer)
*This is a regular -ar verb.*

yo:

*

*
él/ella/Ud.:

*
nosotros/nosotras:
contestamos.
*
vosotros/vosotras:
contestáis.
*
ellos/ellas/Uds.:

4. Verb: Deshacer (to undo/unmake)
*This is an irregular verb derived from "hacer". It follows the same pattern as "hacer" but with "des-" attached.*
*
yo:
deshago (irregular 'go' ending).
*
tú:
deshaces.

él/ella/Ud.:
deshace.
*
nosotros/nosotras:
deshacemos.
*
vosotros/vosotras:
deshacéis.
*
ellos/ellas/Uds.:

5. Verb: Construir (to build)
*This is an -uir verb. In the present tense, the 'u' changes to 'y' in all forms except nosotros and vosotros.*
*
yo:

*
tú:
construyes.
*
él/ella/Ud.:
construye.
*
nosotros/nosotras:
