Step-by-step solution for: Spanish Subjunctive Digital and Printable Assessments | Tests ...
Explanation:
We are given a list of 14 sentences. For each, we must fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb in parentheses — either the present indicative (for facts, habits, or real situations) or the present subjunctive (for wishes, doubts, needs, requests, emotions, or hypotheticals). Let’s go one by one:
1. *Tengo unos amigos que ________ de Italia.* (ser)
→ “I have some friends who are from Italy.” This is a factual statement about friends we know exist. So use indicative: son.
2. *¿Qué bueno! Necesito alguien que ________ italiano para traducir esta carta.* (saber)
→ “I need someone who knows Italian…” The person doesn’t exist yet (we’re looking for them), and “necesito alguien que…” triggers the subjunctive. So: sepa.
3. *Necesitamos un gerente que ________ viajar a Europa de vez en cuando.* (poder)
→ “We need a manager who can travel…” Again, “necesitamos alguien que…” → subjunctive: pueda.
4. *¿Hay alguien en la clase que ________ en la comunidad alemana?* (vivir)
→ “Is there anyone in class who lives in the German community?” This is a question expressing doubt/uncertainty → subjunctive: viva.
5. *Sí, hay tres personas que ________ allí.* (vivir)
→ “Yes, there are three people who live there.” This confirms existence — factual → indicative: viven.
6. *¿Conoces a alguien que ________ francés?* (hablar)
→ “Do you know someone who speaks French?” Uncertainty/doubt → subjunctive: hable.
7. *Sí, yo conozco a alguien que ________ seis lenguas.* (hablar)
→ “Yes, I know someone who speaks six languages.” Confirmed fact → indicative: habla.
8. *Buscamos un restaurante que ________ comida cubana.* (servir)
→ “We’re looking for a restaurant that serves Cuban food.” Looking for something unknown → subjunctive: sirva.
9. *Buscamos al hombre que ________ refrescos.* (vender)
→ “We’re looking for the man who sells drinks.” Again, searching for a specific person — uncertainty → subjunctive: venda.
10. *No conozco a nadie que ________ paella tan sabrosa.* (preparar)
→ “I don’t know anyone who prepares paella so tasty.” Negative + “nadie que” → subjunctive: prepare.
11. *Lo que necesitamos es un científico que ________ mucho talento.* (poseer)
→ “What we need is a scientist who has a lot of talent.” Need + unknown person → subjunctive: posea.
12. *Prefiero un ingeniero que ________ todos los requisitos que pedimos.* (tener)
→ “I prefer an engineer who meets all the requirements we ask for.” Preference + unknown person → subjunctive: tenga.
13. *Necesito al electricista que ________ lámparas.* (reparar)
→ “I need the electrician who repairs lamps.” Here, “el electricista que…” implies a specific known person (the one who repairs lamps), but since it's still about needing *the one who does this job*, and it's not confirmed yet who it is, it's still subjunctive. However, if it's a definite person (e.g., “el electricista que reparó mi lámpara”), it would be indicative. But here, it's “the electricist who repairs lamps” as a defining trait — often subjunctive after *necesito el/la que…* when referring to a required quality. Standard rule: after *necesito + noun + que*, use subjunctive. So: repare.
14. *Busco un médico que me ________.* (curar)
→ “I’m looking for a doctor who cures me.” Looking for an unknown doctor → subjunctive: cure.
Let’s double-check tricky ones:
- #13: Some might argue indicative if it’s a general description (“the electrician who repairs lamps” = his job), but in Spanish, when the noun is preceded by *el/la* and followed by *que* describing a required trait in a context of search/need, subjunctive is preferred. E.g., *Necesito un libro que tenga buenas ilustraciones* → subjunctive. So repare is correct.
- #9: “Buscamos al hombre que venda refrescos” — yes, subjunctive because he’s not identified yet.
Now write all answers in order:
1. son
2. sepa
3. pueda
4. viva
5. viven
6. hable
7. habla
8. sirva
9. venda
10. prepare
11. posea
12. tenga
13. repare
14. cure
Final Answer:
1. son
2. sepa
3. pueda
4. viva
5. viven
6. hable
7. habla
8. sirva
9. venda
10. prepare
11. posea
12. tenga
13. repare
14. cure
