1. Mi madre insiste en que ____ en el aeropuerto a las 2.
A) estabamos
B) estemos
C) estamos

I'm confused between B and C because I don't know if I should use the indicative or subjunctive form. Please help.
2. Prohiben que los turistas les ____ comida a los animals.
A) den
B) dan
C) dar
D) dieron
Again I'm not sure which form to use so I'm confused between den and dan. Please help me with this. Thank you.

I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.

Answer 2

1. It is Subjunctive because “insistir” usually implies that one person wants another to do something. However it COULD mean that some one merely insists that it IS what2 is happening! (a statement of fact). It is necessary to know what the speaker has in mind!

2. Again, I’d go with the subjunctive = imposition of will.
