Analyze the context and select expressions
We analyze each sentence to choose the logically correct Spanish expression or verb based on context clues:
- Señora López: "Tu hermano y yo... ¿Dónde está la cafetería?" (Your brother and I... Where is the cafeteria?). The cafeteria is related to eating, so "tener hambre" (to be hungry) is logical.
- Felipe: "... La clase del profesor Borbón es muy aburrida (boring)." (Professor Borbón's class is very boring). A boring class makes one sleepy, so "tener sueño" (to be sleepy) is logical.
- Cristina: "No hay ventanas en la clase de física de Sonia. Ella siempre... allí." (There are no windows in Sonia's physics class. She always... there). No windows usually makes a room hot, so "tener calor" (to feel hot) is logical.
- Matías: "Pamela, ¿tú... una memoria USB?" (Pamela, do you... a USB flash drive?). To ask about possession of an object, we use "tener" (to have) rather than "estar".
- Irene: "... Mi clase de biología empieza en cinco minutos." (My biology class begins in five minutes). Being close to class time means one is in a hurry, so "tener prisa" (to be in a hurry) is logical.
- Juan Carlos: "Cristóbal y Daniel... : Andrea... veinticinco años." (Cristóbal and Daniel... : Andrea... twenty-five years old).
- For the first blank, the context is completed by the second part. Let's look at the second blank: expressing age in Spanish requires the verb "tener" (to have years). Thus, "Andrea tiene veinticinco años".
- For the first blank, since the statement about Andrea's age is a factual statement, Cristóbal and Daniel are correct/right about it, so "tener razón" (to be right) is logical.
Conjugate the verbs in the present tense
We conjugate the chosen verbs according to the subjects:
- Tu hermano y yo (Your brother and I = we / nosotros): tenemos hambre
- Yo (I): tengo sueño
- Ella (She): tiene calor
- Tú (You, informal): tienes
- Yo (I, implied by "Te llamo más tarde" / I'll call you later): tengo prisa
- Cristóbal y Daniel (They / ellos): tienen razón
- Andrea (She): tiene
