Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Participles / Participios
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 #2 : Participles / Participios
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.
traicionaste
traicionado
traicionó
traicionando
traicionado
The verb has (haber) requires the past participle, the only example of which here is traicionado.
