question 4

juan ________ a la universidad los jueves.

which form of verb ir (to go) do you need to use to complete this sentence?

es

va

ir

vas

Explanation:

Identify the subject and target verb

Using the Spanish Subject Pronouns knowledge point, the subject of the sentence is "Juan," which corresponds to the third-person singular pronoun él (he). The prompt asks for the correct form of the highly irregular verb ir (to go) in the present tense to complete the sentence: "Juan ________ a la universidad los jueves."

Conjugate the verb for the subject

Using the Spanish Verb Conjugation knowledge point, we conjugate the irregular verb ir in the present indicative tense:

• yo voy (I go)
• tú vas (you go)
• él/ella/usted va (he/she/you formal go)
• nosotros/nosotras vamos (we go)
• vosotros/vosotras vais (you all go)
• ellos/ellas/ustedes van (they/you all go)

Since "Juan" is third-person singular (él), the correct conjugated form is va.

Evaluate the given options

• es: This is a form of the verb ser (to be), not ir (to go).
• va: This is the correct third-person singular present tense form of ir.
• ir: This is the infinitive form, which is unconjugated.
• vas: This is the second-person singular (tú) form of ir.

Answer:

• (A) es
• (B) va (Correct answer)
• (C) ir
• (D) vas
