San Fermin Festivities Preterite Tense Gap Fill Worksheet ... - Free Printable

Looking at the task, we need to complete the text by choosing the correct verb form in parentheses. The story is written in the past tense (pretérito), so we must use the correct past tense conjugation for each subject.

Let’s go step by step:

1. “¡Hola Marta! ¿Qué tal estás? Espero que estés genial.” → This is present tense, no change needed.

2. “Te escribo para contarte mi viaje a Pamplona durante las fiestas de San Fermín. ¡Las pasé (pasar, yo) genial!”
→ Subject: yo → past tense of “pasar” → pasé

3. “Te escribo para contarte mi viaje a Pamplona durante las fiestas de San Fermín. ¡Las pasé (pasar, yo) genial!” — already done above.

4. “Fui (ir, yo) a Pamplona el día 3 de julio para pasar unos días allí con mis tíos y mis primos. El día 6 de julio…”
→ Subject: yo → past tense of “ir” → fui

5. “...desayunamos (desayunar, nosotros) temprano y...”
→ Subject: nosotros → past tense of “desayunar” → desayunamos

6. “(comprar, nosotros) un pan con una tortilla y una cerveza blanca y con el pimiento rojo tradicional.”
→ Subject: nosotros → past tense of “comprar” → compramos

7. “Después, (ir, nosotros) al ayuntamiento para ver el encierro y la corrida.”
→ Subject: nosotros → past tense of “ir” → fuimos

8. “Hicimos (hacer, nosotros) muchas fotos porque había música en todas las calles y allí fue divertido...”
→ Subject: nosotros → past tense of “hacer” → hicimos

9. “...por la tarde, y (comer, nosotros) en las atracciones de la feria y a (comprar, yo) varias chucherías.”
→ First blank: subject nosotros → past tense of “comer” → comimos
→ Second blank: subject yo → past tense of “comprar” → compré

10. “Más tarde, por la noche, (cenar, nosotros) unos bocadillos en un restaurante pequeño y yo (gustar, nosotros) hasta un parque para ver los fuegos artificiales.”
→ First blank: subject nosotros → past tense of “cenar” → cenamos
→ Second blank: This is tricky — “yo (gustar, nosotros)” doesn’t make sense grammatically. It should be “yo (ir, yo)” or similar. But looking at context: “yo ___ hasta un parque” — likely meant to be “fui” (from “ir”). However, the verb given is “gustar”, which means “to like”. That doesn’t fit. Probably a typo. In context, it should be “fui” (I went). But since the instruction says to choose from the parentheses, and it says “(gustar, nosotros)”, that’s incorrect. Let’s re-read: “yo (gustar, nosotros) hasta un parque” — this is likely a mistake. The intended verb is probably “ir” (to go). Since “gustar” doesn’t work here, and “yo” is the subject, we’ll assume it’s a typo and should be “fui” (from “ir”). But wait — maybe it’s “me gustó”? No, because it says “hasta un parque” — meaning “to a park”. So it must be “fui”. Given the options, perhaps the verb is mislabeled. Looking again: “yo (gustar, nosotros)” — this is inconsistent. Perhaps it’s “yo (ir, yo)” but written wrong. To stay true to the exercise, if we must pick from “gustar”, it doesn’t fit. But in standard exercises like this, it’s likely “fui”. I think there’s an error in the worksheet. However, based on common sense and context, the correct word is “fui”. But let’s check the original image description — it says “(gustar, nosotros)” for “yo ___ hasta un parque”. That can’t be right. Maybe it’s “yo (ir, yo)” and it’s misprinted. Since the student needs to solve it, and “gustar” doesn’t make sense, I’ll assume it’s a typo and should be “ir”. So for “yo”, past tense of “ir” is “fui”. But the parenthesis says “gustar, nosotros” — that’s confusing. Perhaps it’s “nosotros (gustar)” but the subject is “yo”. This is problematic. Let me look at the full sentence: “Más tarde, por la noche, (cenar, nosotros) unos bocadillos en un restaurante pequeño y yo (gustar, nosotros) hasta un parque para ver los fuegos artificiales.” — The second part has “yo” as subject, but the verb is labeled “gustar, nosotros” — which is mismatched. This is likely an error in the worksheet. In such cases, we go by context. The verb should be “ir” (to go), and for “yo”, it’s “fui”. So I’ll put “fui” even though the parenthesis says “gustar”. Alternatively, if we must use “gustar”, it would be “me gustó” but that doesn’t fit “hasta un parque”. So I think it’s a typo, and it should be “ir”. For the sake of completing the exercise correctly, I’ll use “fui”.

But wait — let’s read carefully: “yo (gustar, nosotros)” — perhaps it’s “yo (ir, yo)” and the “gustar” is a mistake. In many versions of this exercise, it’s “fui”. I’ll proceed with “fui” for that blank.

So: “yo fui hasta un parque”

11. “Por cierto, ¿qué tal tus vacaciones? Espero que lo hayas pasado genial.” — present perfect, no change.

Now, compiling all answers:

- pasé (yo)
- fui (yo)
- desayunamos (nosotros)
- compramos (nosotros)
- fuimos (nosotros)
- hicimos (nosotros)
- comimos (nosotros)
- compré (yo)
- cenamos (nosotros)
- fui (yo) — assuming typo, should be “ir” not “gustar”

But to be precise, let's list them in order as they appear in the text:

The blanks are:

1. (pasar, yo) → pasé
2. (ir, yo) → fui
3. (desayunar, nosotros) → desayunamos
4. (comprar, nosotros) → compramos
5. (ir, nosotros) → fuimos
6. (hacer, nosotros) → hicimos
7. (comer, nosotros) → comimos
8. (comprar, yo) → compré
9. (cenar, nosotros) → cenamos
10. (gustar, nosotros) → this is problematic. Since subject is "yo", and verb is "gustar", it should be "me gustó" but that doesn't fit "hasta un parque". Perhaps it's "ir" and it's mislabeled. I think the intended answer is "fui". So I'll go with "fui".

In the final answer, I'll list the verbs in order.

Final Answer:
pasé, fui, desayunamos, compramos, fuimos, hicimos, comimos, compré, cenamos, fui
