Lilian no ______________llegar a la fiest.
we must use the preterite tense of verb ( poder) can anyone help me thanks
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Here is the verb poder in the Preterit:
yo pude
tú pudiste
él/ella/usted pudo
nosotros/nosotras pudimos
ellos/ellas/ustedes pudieron
The stem is irregular = pud-
the endings are unstressed: e, iste, o, imos, ieron
You need the form "pudo"
Be sure you fix fiest to fiesta.
Sra
lilian no - puede- llegar a la fiesta
Sorry, Blanca, but the Preterit was asked for, not the Present Indicative.
Sra
To complete the sentence using the preterite tense of the verb "poder" (meaning "to be able" or "can"), you can say:
"Lilian no pudo llegar a la fiesta."
Here's an explanation of how to arrive at this answer:
1. First, identify the subject of the sentence, which is "Lilian."
2. Next, consider the preterite tense of the verb "poder." In this tense, the conjugation for the subject "Lilian" is "pudo." The preterite tense of "poder" has irregular conjugations in the third person singular and plural.
3. Finally, combine the subject and verb with the appropriate syntax, resulting in the sentence "Lilian no pudo llegar a la fiesta." This means "Lilian could not/couldn't arrive at the party."
Remember, when using the preterite tense of "poder," it indicates a completed action in the past.
