Question

3 ¿qué hacían? complete the sentences, describing the domestic activity in each drawing. use the imperfect tense.

1. ramón ______________.

1. rebeca ______________.

1. mi tío juan ______________.

1. isabel ______________.

Explanation:

1. Ramón

The first drawing shows Ramón watching TV (ver la televisión). In the imperfect tense, for the verb “ver” (to watch), the first - person singular (Ramón is third - person singular, so “él” form) conjugation is “veía”. So the sentence is “Ramón veía la televisión.”

The second drawing shows Rebeca in a kitchen, likely washing dishes (lavar los platos). The imperfect tense of “lavar” for third - person singular (Rebeca) is “lavaba”. So the sentence is “Rebeca lavaba los platos.”

The third drawing shows Mi tío Juan cleaning or dusting (limpiar/desechar el polvo, here “ordenar el cuarto” or “limpiar los libros” can be inferred, but more likely “ordenar el cuarto” or “limpiar”. The imperfect tense of “ordenar” (to tidy) for third - person singular is “ordenaba”. So “Mi tío Juan ordenaba el cuarto (o libros).” A common activity here is tidying the room or the bookshelf, so “ordenaba el cuarto” (or “los libros”).

Answer:

veía la televisión
