question 8

how do you form the present progressive of the verb querer for ella?

• está quiere.
• está quero.
• está querendo.
• está queriendo.

Explanation:

Identify the grammatical structure

The question asks for the present progressive form of the verb querer (to want) for the subject pronoun ella (she). In Spanish, the present progressive tense is formed using the present tense of the auxiliary verb estar followed by the present participle (gerund) of the main verb.

Conjugate the auxiliary verb

Using Spanish Verb Conjugation, we conjugate the auxiliary verb estar for the third-person singular subject ella:

• ella está

Form the present participle

To form the gerund of the regular -er verb querer, we drop the infinitive ending -er and add -iendo to the stem quer-:

• querer $

ightarrow$ queriendo

Combine the elements

Combining the conjugated auxiliary verb and the gerund yields:

• Está queriendo

Answer:

• Está quiere.
• Está quero.
• Está querendo.
• Está queriendo. (Correct answer)
