Question

fill in the blank question

fill in the blank with the verb phrase that would best substitute the underlined verb in the sentence. use the yo form.

yo necesito estudiar. tengo un examen mañana. preparar.

Explanation:

Analyze the underlined verb and context

The underlined verb is "necesito" (from "necesitar", meaning "to need"). The sentence is "Yo necesito estudiar. Tengo un examen mañana." (I need to study. I have an exam tomorrow.)

Identify equivalent verb phrases expressing obligation or necessity

In Spanish, necessity or obligation can be expressed using the modal verb "deber" or the idiomatic verb phrase "tener que" + infinitive. The prompt asks for a "verb phrase" to substitute the underlined verb "necesito" in the yo form, followed by the infinitive "preparar" (or completing a similar structure). The phrase "tener que" in the "yo" form is "tengo que".

Determine the correct substitution

Replacing "necesito" with the equivalent verb phrase "tengo que" fits the context of obligation ("I have to") and matches the grammatical structure of being followed by an infinitive.

Fill in the blank with the verb phrase that would best substitute the underlined verb in the sentence. Use the yo form.
