Here are the correct preterite forms of IR and SER to complete the sentences:

  1. Ayer fue un día bueno para nosotros.
  2. Primero, yo fui a la estación de servicio para llenar el tanque con gasolina.
  3. Luego Fernando y yo fuimos a la tienda de equipo deportivo para mirar patines.
  4. Nuestras amigas Teresa y Patricia fueron al almacén.
  5. En la noche todos nosotros fuimos al cine. La película fue muy cómica.
For #2 above, is it the verb IR or SER and how do you know? Give a complete explanation. (in English)

In sentence #2 ("Primero, yo __________ a la estación de servicio para llenar el tanque con gasolina."), the correct verb is IR because the sentence refers to the action of going to a specific place: the service station.

Explanation:

  • IR means "to go," and it is used when talking about the act of moving from one location to another. In this context, the speaker is describing what they did, specifically that they went to a service station to fill up a gas tank.

  • On the other hand, SER means "to be," and it is typically used to describe characteristics, identity, origin, or time, among other states of being. It would not fit this context since it doesn’t describe movement or destination.

Thus, since the action involves going to a location, the correct choice is the preterite form of IR, which in this case is "fui" for the first person singular (I).

For #5 above, is it the verb IR or SER and how do you know? Give a complete explanation (in English)

In sentence #5 ("En la noche todos nosotros __________ al cine. La película __________ muy cómica."), the correct verb for the first blank is IR and for the second blank is SER. Here’s the complete explanation:

  1. First Blank: "__________ al cine."

    • The verb needed here is IR, which means "to go." The sentence refers to the action of going to the cinema (movies). This is describing what "we" (todos nosotros) did during the night, specifically that we went to the cinema.

    • IR is the appropriate choice because it indicates movement towards a destination. The structure "vamos al cine" (we go to the cinema) clearly denotes the action of leaving one place and heading to another.

  2. Second Blank: "La película __________ muy cómica."

    • The verb for this blank is SER, which means "to be." This portion of the sentence is providing a description of the movie's nature or quality, stating that it was very funny.

    • SER is used here because it describes a characteristic of the film — in this case, how it is (very funny). Descriptive attributes or qualities are perfect contexts for using SER.

In summary, the first blank requires IR because it relates to the act of going somewhere, while the second blank requires SER because it describes an inherent quality of the movie. So, the completed sentence is: "En la noche todos nosotros fuimos al cine. La película fue muy cómica."

i only need one

Apologies for the oversight! For sentence #5, the verb needed in the blank "En la noche todos nosotros __________ al cine." is IR.

Explanation:

  • The sentence describes the action of going to the cinema, which is a movement towards a specific location. Therefore, the appropriate verb is IR (to go).
  • In this case, the correct form is "fuimos" (we went) because it indicates the act of moving to the cinema.

So, the completed thought is: "En la noche todos nosotros fuimos al cine."
