Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. Tú ___mucho. (aprender) Tú aprendías mucho.Translation: You learned a lot.Explanation: The subject in this sentence is "Tú", that is the second person in the singular, so the verb must be conjugated in this form. Tú aprendías.
Aprendías would be the right answer.

1. Right2) cantarCantar is a regular verb, accordingly this isn't an irregular one. In fact, In the imperfect tense, there are only three verbs with irregular conjugations, namely: ir, ser, and ver. Since cantar is an ar verb, if you want to conjugate a regular verb in the imperfect tense in Spanish, you need to remove the infinitive ending ar and add the imperfect ending that matches the subject. So, for each person the endings are as follows: Yo - aba Tú - abasÉl/ella/usted - abaNosotros - ábamosVosotros - abaisEllos/ellas/ustedes - aban2. Right 2) changoAnother word for mono is chango. Both words mean the same word in English monkey. This is an animal with a long tail that climbs trees and uses its hands in the same way that people do. Both words are masculine singular nouns. A noun is a word or group of words that is the name of a person, a place, a thing, or activity or a quality or idea.3. Right 1) eraEra is the conjugation of the verb ser for the third person singular in the imperfect tense.

So we use the verb here as physical description. So:Carlitos era alto y moreno 4. Right 1) eranEran is the conjugation of the verb ser for the second person plural in the imperfect tense.

In this exercise we have the concept of the imperfect tense (el imperfecto) that is used to describe past habitual actions or to talk about what someone was doing when they were interrupted by something else. In general, the imperfect is used to talk about past actions, conditions, or events that occurred regularly or frequently or that were in progress in a moment in the past. It is also used to tell time, talk about dates, give a person's age, and describe features, conditions, and feelings in the past. There are two forms in this verbal tense, namely: Regular Imperfect Forms and Irregular Imperfect Forms.In Spanish, you can recognize only two sets of endings for regular imperfect, one for ar verbs and one for both er and ir verbs. If you want to conjugate a regular verb in the imperfect tense in Spanish, you need to remove the infinitive ending (ar, er, or ir) and add the imperfect ending that matches the subject, as indicated in Table 1 (below).On the other hand, in the imperfect tense, there are only three verbs with irregular conjugations, namely: ir, ser, and ver. This is shown in Table 2 (below). So let's solve this problem.1. Otra palabra para "jungla" es. The right answer is b. SelvaSelva or jungla is jungle in English.2. ¿Qué verbo NO es un verbo irregular en el imperfecto? The right answer is b. cantarAs you can see in Table 2, both ser and ver are verbs with irregular imperfect conjugations. So cantar is a verb with regular imperfect form.3. Which of the following would be the imperfect of the verb in parentheses?The right answer is a. eran. So:Uds. eran guapos y rubios. (ser) You can see that conjugation in Table 2.4. ¿Cuál de estos animales no es un gato? The right answer is c. iguanaBoth leopard and tiger are felines. So iguana (also iguana in English) is a reptile.5. Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. Gloria trabajaba mucho en la tienda de ropa. (trabajar)Notice that the verb ending in Table 1 for the third-person singular is aba.6. How would you say "I used to sing" using the verb cantar?In the imperfect tense it would be:Yo cantabaNotice that the verb ending in Table 1 for the first-person singular is aba.7. Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. Ud. estaba en la clase de inglés. (estar)Keep in mind that this verb has a regular imperfect form. See Table 1 for the verb ending, that is aba for the pronoun Usted (Ud)8. Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. Ellas iban a la jungla. (ir)This verb also has an irregular imperfect form as indicated in Table 2.9. Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. Los monos vivían en la jungla. (vivir)This verb has a regular imperfect form and the ending of it is ir. See Table 1.10. Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. Nosotros no comíamos nada. (comer)This verb has a regular imperfect form. So we use Table 1 to write the sentence. 11. Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. Tú bailabas mucho en el club de jóvenes. (bailar)This verb has also a regular form. Keep in mind that the ending is ar, so using Table 1 we can write the sentence.12. Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. El oso comía las hojas verdes. (comer) This verb was used in 10, but in this sentence we use the third-person singular.13. Write the verb in parentheses in the imperfect tense. Yo estaba en México. (estar)This verb was used in sentence 7. Now we use it for the first-person singular.14. How would you say "I used to look at" using the verb mirar?This verb has a regular imperfect form. So we can say, in the imperfect tense:Yo mirabaLet's match the Spanish word to its meaning in English15. matches to C.In Spanish, the turtle is la tortuga16. matches to E.In Spanish, the spider is la araña17. matches to A.In Spanish, la jungle is la selva18. matches to B.In Spanish, the Snake is la serpiente19. matches to D.In Spanish, the tiger is el tigre
