question 23
how do you say \my friend and i sell lemonade\ in spanish?

• mi amiga y yo vendir limonada.
• mi amiga y yo vendes limonada.
• mi amiga y yo vender limonada.
• mi amiga y yo vendemos limonada.

Explanation:

Identify the subject and pronoun

The English phrase is "My friend and I". In Spanish, "My friend and I" translates to "Mi amiga y yo" (or "Mi amigo y yo"). This compound subject corresponds to the first-person plural pronoun "nosotros" (we).

Conjugate the verb

The verb "to sell" in Spanish is "vender".
To conjugate the regular "-er" verb "vender" for the "nosotros" form in the present tense, we drop the "-er" ending and add "-emos":

• Yo vendo
• Tú vendes
• Él/Ella/Usted vende
• Nosotros/Nosotras vendemos
• Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes venden

Therefore, "sell" conjugates to "vendemos".

Match with the options

• "Mi amiga y yo vendir limonada." (Incorrect: "vendir" is not a valid verb form)
• "Mi amiga y yo vendes limonada." (Incorrect: "vendes" is the "tú" conjugation)
• "Mi amiga y yo vender limonada." (Incorrect: "vender" is the unconjugated infinitive)
• "Mi amiga y yo vendemos limonada." (Correct: uses the proper "nosotros" conjugation "vendemos")

Answer:

• Mi amiga y yo vendir limonada.
• Mi amiga y yo vendes limonada.
• Mi amiga y yo vender limonada.
• Mi amiga y yo vendemos limonada. (Correct answer)
