Spanish Regular AR Verbs in the Present Tense w/o Vosotros (3 ... - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks with the correct forms of the verbs in parentheses. We’re using Present Tense — that means we use the base form for “I, you, we, they” and add -s or -es for “he, she, it”.

We’ll go one sentence at a time.

---

1. Elle écoute → *écouter* (habiter)
Wait — this seems like a mistake. The verb given is “écouter”, but the blank says “(habiter)”. That doesn’t match. Let’s look again.

Actually, looking at the pattern: each sentence has a subject + verb stem, then in parentheses is the infinitive we need to conjugate.

But #1 says: “Elle écoute _________ écouter (habiter)” — that looks like a typo. Probably meant: “Elle ________ écouter (habiter)”? No — wait, maybe it’s “Elle habite _________”? Hmm.

Looking more carefully:

The example shows:
- je → chante
- tu → chantes
etc.

Then the exercises start with:

1. Elle écoute _________ écouter (habiter)

This must be a formatting error. Likely, it should be:

1. Elle _________ écouter (habiter) → meaning: She lives to listen? That doesn’t make sense.

Wait — perhaps the structure is: Subject + [blank] + object/complement, and the verb in parentheses is what we conjugate.

Let me re-read the first few:

1. Elle écoute _________ écouter (habiter) → This is confusing.

Actually, looking at #2: “Tu _________ une lettre par jour. (écrire)” → That makes sense: You write a letter per day.

So probably #1 is misprinted. Maybe it’s supposed to be: “Elle _________ à Paris.” or something? But it says “écoute”.

Wait — perhaps “écoute” is part of the sentence, and we are to conjugate “habiter” as the main verb? Like: “She listens while living...” — no, that’s too complex.

Another idea: Maybe the word before the blank is NOT part of the sentence, but an example? No.

Let’s skip to #2 which is clear:

2. Tu _________ une lettre par jour. (écrire)
→ “Tu écris” — because “tu” takes -s ending for regular -re verbs? Wait, “écrire” is irregular.

Conjugation of “écrire” in present tense:
- j’écris
- tu écris
- il/elle écrit
- nous écrivons
- vous écrivez
- ils/elles écrivent

So for “tu”, it’s “écris”.

✔ Answer: écris

3. Elles _________ toujours. (boire)
“Boire” = to drink
Conjugation:
- je bois
- tu bois
- il boit
- nous buvons
- vous buvez
- elles boivent

So “elles boivent”

✔ Answer: boivent

4. Je ne peux _________ (connaître)
“Je ne peux pas connaître” — but “peux” is from “pouvoir”, so maybe it’s “Je ne connais pas”? Wait, the blank is after “peux”, so likely: “Je ne peux pas _________” — but the verb is “connaître”.

Actually, “je ne peux connaître” is not standard. Usually: “je ne peux pas connaître” — but here there’s no “pas”. Maybe it’s “Je ne connais pas” — but the subject is “je”, and verb is “connaître”.

Perhaps it’s: “Je ne peux _________” meaning “I cannot know” — so we conjugate “connaître” for “je”: “je connais”

But “je ne peux connais” is wrong. It should be “je ne peux pas connaître” — infinitive after “pouvoir”.

Ah! After modal verbs like “pouvoir”, we use the infinitive. So: “Je ne peux pas connaître” — but the blank is only for the verb, and “pas” isn’t written.

Looking back: “Je ne peux _________ (connaître)” — probably missing “pas”, but in French, sometimes “ne...pas” is split, but here only “ne” is there.

Maybe it’s a typo, and it’s meant to be “Je ne _________ pas” — then “connais”.

But let’s assume it’s “Je ne peux _________” and we put the infinitive? But the instruction says “correct form of the verb”, implying conjugated.

Wait — in the example, all verbs are conjugated. So likely, it’s “Je ne connais pas” — but the “pas” is omitted? Or perhaps it’s “Je ne peux connaître” — but that’s not grammatical without “pas”.

Another possibility: “Je ne peux [verb]” where [verb] is conjugated — but that would be “je ne peux connais” — incorrect.

I think there’s a mistake in the worksheet. Perhaps it’s “Je ne _________ pas” — then “connais”.

Let’s check online or standard usage. Actually, “connaître” for “je” is “je connais”.

And “je ne peux pas connaître” uses infinitive.

Given the context, I think it’s likely meant to be: “Je ne _________ pas” — so answer is “connais”.

But the text says “Je ne peux _________” — so maybe it’s “Je ne peux pas connaître” — but “connaître” is already given, so we don’t conjugate it? Confusing.

Let’s move on and come back.

5. Tu _________ les cours chaque semaine. (prendre)
“Prendre” conjugation:
- je prends
- tu prends
- il prend
- nous prenons
- vous prenez
- ils prennent

So “tu prends”

✔ Answer: prends

6. Les étudiants _________ au restaurant. (manger)
“Manger” for “ils” → “mangent”

✔ Answer: mangent

7. La secrétaire _________ son bureau. (nettoyer)
“Nettoyer” for “elle” → “nettoie” (because -yer verbs change y to i before silent e)

Conjugation: je nettoie, tu nettoies, il nettoie, etc.

✔ Answer: nettoie

8. Mon camarade de classe _________ comme un lion. (courir)
“Courir” for “il” → “court”

✔ Answer: court

9. On parle _________ français. (parler)
“On” is treated as “il/elle” — so “parle”

But the sentence is “On parle _________ français” — that would be “On parle français” — no blank needed? Unless it’s “On _________ français” — then “parle”.

Probably typo, and it’s “On _________ français” — so “parle”

✔ Answer: parle

10. Il a profession de vie _________ en France. (aller)
“Profession de vie” might be “profession de foi” or something, but likely “Il a pour profession de vivre” — but verb is “aller”.

“Il va en France” — “aller” for “il” → “va”

But the sentence is “Il a profession de vie _________ en France” — awkward. Perhaps “Il va en France” — so “va”

Assume it’s “Il _________ en France” — then “va”

✔ Answer: va

11. Lucienne porte sa veste. Maïa _________ la sienne aussi. (porter)
“Maïa” is “elle” — so “porte”

✔ Answer: porte

12. Nous _________ nos valises. (choisir)
“Choisir” for “nous” → “choisissons”

✔ Answer: choisissons

13. Georges et Jean, Paul _________ le film. (voir)
“Georges et Jean, Paul” — that’s three people, so “ils” — “voient”

But the sentence is “Georges et Jean, Paul _________ le film” — probably “Georges, Jean et Paul voient le film” — so “voient”

✔ Answer: voient

14. À 6 h précis _________ (partir)
“At 6 o’clock sharp, [someone] leaves” — subject missing? Probably “on” or “il” — but not specified. In French, often “on” is used.

“On part” — or “il part” — but since no subject, perhaps “part” for “il/on”

But typically, if no subject, it might be imperative, but unlikely.

Perhaps it’s “À 6 h précis, nous partons” — but not specified.

Looking at the pattern, likely subject is implied as “on” or “il”.

In many contexts, “à 6 heures, on part” — so “part”

But “partir” for “il/on” → “part”

✔ Answer: part

15. Tu _________ la pizza hier soir. (manger)
“Hier soir” = last night — past tense! But the worksheet is “Present Tense”. Contradiction.

“Tu manges la pizza hier soir” — incorrect, because “hier soir” requires past tense.

Probably a mistake. Should be “ce soir” or something.

But if we force present tense, “tu manges” — but it’s illogical.

Perhaps it’s “Tu as mangé” — but that’s passé composé.

Given the worksheet title is “Regular All Verbs in the Present Tense”, likely a typo, and it should be “ce soir” or ignore the time.

So for present tense, “tu manges”

✔ Answer: manges

16. Ils _________ leurs bagages. (fermer)
“Fermer” for “ils” → “ferment”

✔ Answer: ferment

17. Mignonne et moi _________ notre chambre. (nettoyer)
“Mignonne et moi” = “nous” — so “nettoyons”

✔ Answer: nettoyons

18. Elle _________ toutes les fleurs. (arroser)
“Arroser” for “elle” → “arrose”

✔ Answer: arrose

19. Jean-Pierre _________ le monde du travail. (comprendre)
“Comprendre” for “il” → “comprend”

✔ Answer: comprend

20. Claire _________ avec enthousiasme. (répondre)
“Répondre” for “elle” → “répond”

✔ Answer: répond

Now back to #1 and #4.

#1: “Elle écoute _________ écouter (habiter)” — this is messy. Perhaps it’s “Elle habite à Paris” or something. Maybe “écoute” is a distractor.

Another idea: perhaps the first word is the subject, and we conjugate the verb in parentheses, ignoring the middle word? But that doesn’t make sense.

Look at the example: “je chante” — subject + conjugated verb.

In #1, “Elle” is subject, then “écoute” might be a verb, but then blank, then “écouter (habiter)” — very confused.

Perhaps it’s “Elle _________ écouter” and “habiter” is the verb to conjugate? But “habiter écouter” doesn’t make sense.

I think there’s a printing error. Likely, it’s meant to be “Elle _________ à Paris.” with “habiter” — so “habite”

Or “Elle écoute la radio” — but verb is “habiter”.

Given that, and to proceed, I’ll assume it’s “Elle _________” with “habiter” — so “habite”

✔ Answer: habite

#4: “Je ne peux _________ (connaître)” — as discussed, after “pouvoir”, we use infinitive, so “connaître” — but the instruction is to conjugate.

In some contexts, “je ne peux connaître” is used poetically, but rarely.

Perhaps it’s “Je ne connais pas” — and “peux” is a typo for “sais” or something.

Another possibility: “Je ne peux pas connaître” — but “pas” is missing, and we put “connaître” as infinitive.

But the worksheet asks for “correct form”, and in the example, all are conjugated.

Let’s check #15 has “hier soir” which is past, so perhaps errors are common.

For consistency, since “je” is subject, and “connaître” is the verb, “je connais”

And “ne...pas” might be implied.

So I’ll go with “connais”

✔ Answer: connais

Now compiling all answers:

1. habite
