Example Question #1 : Verbals In Spanish
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Antes de __________, hago mi tarea.
salir
salí
salgo
he salido
saldría
salir
The correct answer is salir. Because of the "de" the following word must be in the infinitive form.
Example Question #2 : Verbals In Spanish
Which verb form is grammatically correct?
Para mi, es mejor __________ libre que tener riqueza.
haber
tener
soy
ser
ser
Ser is the only correct answer as it is both the only verb that agrees grammatically with the adjective libre. Further, the infintive structure is neccesary as the verb's indicative form, soy, would be incorrect in an impersonal statement.
Example Question #3 : Verbals In Spanish
Which verb form best completes this sentence?
El perro huele mal, pues hay que __________ lo.
voltar
baña
bañar
bañaba
bañar
The only verb that fits the impersonal necessity haber construction of this sentence is the infinitve bañar. Bañaba and baña are in the wrong tenses, and voltar, while in the right tense, makes no sense in context.
Example Question #4 : Verbals In Spanish
Which verb best completes the sentence?
Mi coche no está __________, tengo que arreglarlo.
roto
funciona
trabajando
funcionando
funcionando
The present participle funcionando is correct; funciona is in the wrong tense; roto doesn't make sense in context (one doesn't fix a car that isn't broken); trabajando is bad Spanish and wrong in context, although it is in the right tense.(Machines function, men and animals work).
Example Question #5 : Verbals In Spanish
Which verb best completes the sentence?
La pagina de la red se está __________.
cargando
cargó
filtra
cargaba
cargando
The estar + gerund structure of this sentence means that only right answer is the gerund, cargando.

Which verb best completes this sentence?
Mereces un pena doblada, buen rey, porque has __________ a sus amigos más leales.
traicionó

The verb has (haber) requires the past participle, the only example of which here is traicionado.
