Explanation:

Identify the grammatical context

The exercise requires completing sentences with the correct form of the given Spanish verbs in the present subjunctive. This structure is triggered by verbs of influence and desire (e.g., querer que, preferir que, esperar que, decir que when used as a command/request) followed by a change of subject. We will apply Spanish Subjunctive rules and Spanish Verb Conjugation to match each subject.

Conjugate verbs 1 to 4

1. Sentence: Mi abuela quiere que mis hermanastras ________ las compras. (hacer)

• Subject: mis hermanastras (third-person plural / ellas)
• Conjugation: The irregular verb hacer has the stem hag- in the subjunctive. For ellas, it becomes hagan.

1. Sentence: Nuestro papá dice que yo ________ la mesa. (poner)

• Subject: yo (first-person singular)
• Conjugation: The irregular verb poner has the stem pong- in the subjunctive. For yo, it becomes ponga.

1. Sentence: La tía María prefiere que Marta ________ la aspiradora. (pasar)

• Conjugation: The regular -ar verb pasar takes the subjunctive ending -e for ella, becoming pase.

1. Sentence: Mi bisabuela dice que nosotros ________ la ropa de verano al ático. (subir)

• Subject: nosotros (first-person plural)

Conjugate verbs 5 to 8
