Step-by-step solution for: Clothing Spanish Reading worksheet
Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.
---
We are told to conjugate each verb in parentheses for the subject “yo” (I), since every sentence starts with “Yo” or implies “yo” as the subject.
Here’s how we do it:
1. Yo (necesitar) → “necesito”
*(Regular -ar verb: yo form = stem + o)*
2. yo (comprar) → “compro”
*(Same rule: comprar → compro)*
3. yo (llevar) → “llevo”
*(llevar → llevo)*
4. yo (usar) → “uso”
*(usar → uso)*
5. (caminar) → “camino”
*(Still “yo” subject — camino)*
6. yo (abrir) → “abro”
*(abrir is irregular? No, actually regular in present: abro, abres, abre... so yes, “abro”)*
7. (mirar) → “miro”
*(Again, “yo” implied → miro)*
8. Yo (regatear) → “regateo”
*(regatear → regateo)*
9. ¡yo (pagar) → “pago”
*(pagar → pago)*
10. Yo (correr) → “corro”
*(correr → corro)*
✔ All these are regular -ar or -er verbs in the present tense for “yo”.

Now let’s read the full passage with our conjugated verbs to answer the questions.
Full passage with correct verbs:
> Yo necesito comprar ropa para la escuela porque no me gusta mi ropa vieja. Este año escolar, yo compro ropa más casual y con muchos colores. Generalmente, yo llevo un vestido y zapatos de tacón en el otoño y la primavera. Pero, en invierno, yo uso pantalones de vestir con una blusa y un suéter calentito porque camino a las clases y es muy frío. En la tienda, yo abro la puerta, y miro mucha ropa de diferentes colores y texturas atractivas. Yo regateo con el joven de la tienda por mucho tiempo. Por fin, ¡yo pago toda la ropa con la tarjeta de crédito! ¡Estoy muy feliz! Yo corro a mi casa muy emocionada porque ahora tengo ropa bonita nueva para llevar a la escuela.
Now answer the T/F questions:
#### 1. The narrator is buying new clothes for a party.
→ F (False)
Reason: She says she’s buying clothes *for school* (“para la escuela”), not for a party.
#### 2. The narrator typically wears formal clothing to school.
→ T (True)
Reason: She says she usually wears “un vestido y zapatos de tacón” (a dress and heels) in fall and spring — that’s formal. Even in winter, she wears dress pants and a blouse — still somewhat formal.
#### 3. The narrator pays with a credit card.
→ T (True)
Reason: She says “¡yo pago toda la ropa con la tarjeta de crédito!” — clearly states credit card.
#### 4. The narrator leaves the story happy with their finds.
→ T (True)
Reason: She says “¡Estoy muy feliz!” and “muy emocionada” — very happy and excited.
#### 5. What is the main idea of the passage?
→ The narrator goes shopping for new school clothes because she doesn’t like her old ones, tries on different styles, bargains, buys them with a credit card, and goes home very happy with her new outfits.
*(Keep it simple — one or two sentences as instructed.)*
