AP Spanish Language and Culture › Indicative / Indicativo
Please fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Lo digo que en Oslo __________ frío en el invierno.
hace
haga
es
sea
está
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.
Which verb form is correct in context?
Si te he ofendido, sinceramente ______ perdón.
pido
pida
pediste
piden
The sentence utilizes a "si+indicative" construction, so the verb that goes in the blank must be in the indicative mood. In the context of the statement, the indicative first person present form, "pido" (I ask for ) makes the most sense.
English translation: "If I have offended you, I sincerely ask for your pardon."
