In this problem, we need to build up five sentences from the information provided. To do this, we must write sentences in the simple present. Recall that the simple present tense is used to talk about habitual actions or routines. This tense is also used to describe things that happens now or in the near future. Moreover, it is also used to talk about universal truths, facts, lapses of time, and when ordering in restaurants and stores. So, let's use this information to solve this problem:
<h3>
1. <u>Right answer:</u></h3>
<em>Mi novio </em><em>es</em><em> inteligente y guapo.</em>
es is the correct conjugation of the verb ser for the third-person singular in the simple present. The verb <em>ser</em> is being used here to point out some characteristics of a person. So <em>mi novio </em>can be replaced by the subject pronoun <em>él. </em>In this way, this sentence means:
<em>My boyfriend </em><em>is </em><em>intelligent and handsome</em>
<h3>
2. <u>Right answer:</u></h3>
<em>La mujer pelirroja </em><em>enseña</em><em> periodismo.</em>
enseña is the correct conjugation of the verb enseñar for the third-person singular in the simple present. So <em>la mujer </em>can be replaced by the subject pronoun <em>ella. </em>In this way, this sentence means:
<em>The red-haired woman </em><em>teaches </em><em>journalism.</em>
<h3>
3. <u>Right answer:</u></h3>
<em>Las mochilas </em><em>son</em><em> blancas y azules.</em>
son is the correct conjugation of the verb ser for the third-person plural in the simple present. Here the verb ser is being used to describe some characteristics of a backpack, that is, its color. So <em>las mochilas </em>can be replaced by the subject pronoun <em>ellas. </em>In this way, this sentence means:
<em>The backpacks </em><em>are</em><em> white and blue.</em>
<h3>
4. <u>Right answer:</u></h3>
¿<em>Los turistas japoneses</em><em> esperan</em><em> el autobús?</em>
This is a question in the simple present. So esperan is the conjugation of the verb esperar for the third-person plural in this tense. Hence <em>los turistas </em>can be replaced by<em> ellos. </em>This sentence means:
<em>¿Do Japanese tourists </em><em>wait</em><em> for the bus?</em>
<h3>
5. <u>Right answer:</u></h3>
<em>Ustedes </em><em>toman</em><em> muchas pruebas en la clase de español</em>
toman is the correct conjugation of the verb tomar for the second-person plural in the simple present. So this sentence means:
<em>You </em><em>take</em><em> a lot of tests in the Spanish class</em>
