Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Me __________ ir al concerto contigo, pero no tengo dinero.
The correct answer is "gustaría," the conditional tense. When translated the sentence means "I would like to go to the concert but I don't have money."
"Gusto" is the wrong tense and person. "Gustaba" and "gustó" are the wrong tense, and "gustan" is the wrong tense and number.

El es hábil pero yo soy __________.
The sentence in English is translated to "He is skillful, but I am __________" Knowing this, we must choose the correct word that is the opposite of skillful. "Torpe," "Clumsy" is the correct opposite. The other words are "Sano = Healthy," "Triste = Sad," "Joven = Young," and "Cuerdo = Sane."

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Cuando era joven, yo __________ cada día.
The correct answer is "caminaba." Since the action happened repeatedly in the past, the tense that is needed is the imperfect. The other tenses cannot work, since they do not express the continuous action of the imperfect.

Please fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Lo digo que en Oslo __________ frío en el invierno.
The correct answer is "hace." First the correct verb must be chosen. With expressions of weather in Spanish, the verb "hacer" is used. Then we are left with "hace" and "haga." Even though there is a "que" introducing a new clause in the sentence, the indicative is used, because there is no emotion or doubt expressed in the first clause; therefore, "hace" must be used.

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Estamos pensando __________ tí, mejórate pronto!
The correct preposition to use in this case is "en." The verb "pensar" can take many prepositions after it, each one affecting the meaning slightly. With "en" afterwards it means "about." Both "de" and "sobre" are used when "pensar" means "to have an opinion" about something. Both "con" and "a" are incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Nosotros __________ allí por ocho años.
The correct answer is vivimos. Even though the example given "por ocho años" was an action that occurred over a long period of time, since a definitive beginning and ending period is given in the sentence, the only viable verb is "vivimos," as all of the other verbs are in the imperfect tense.

What is grammatically incorrect about this sentence?
No creo que ellas pueden resolver los problemas.
The correct answer is that the second verb in the sentence "pueden" is incorrect. Since the sentence is expressing a doubt, the subjunctive mood must be used. Instead of "pueden," "puedan" is used.
