"¿Qué les pediste a tus padres para la graduación?" "¡Yo les ______ una fiesta con fuegos artificiales!"

a. pido
b. pedí
c. pidieron
d. pidió

i'm confused between A and D, i don't know which

Actually you want neither! a. is the Present Tense but the question is in the Past (Preterit) and the subject is NOT él as in d, but yo. You are narrowing it down! What do you choose now?

Obviously you are NOT following my 4 point plan for answering questions!

1. I'm looking at the question.
2. What DID you ask for from your parents for graduation? I_______ them for a party with fireworks.
3. I ASKED/did ask for a party with fireworks.
4. Yo les________etc.

P.S. Just in case you did not get the choices:

a. I ask, I am asking, I do ask
b. I asked, I did ask
c. they asked, they did ask
d. he asked, he did ask

Sra

so it's B?

thank you for your help! pedi

To determine the correct answer, you need to consider the subject and the tense of the sentence. The subject in this sentence is "yo" (meaning "I" in English), which corresponds to the singular pronoun.

In the past tense, when the subject is "yo" ("I"), the verb form usually ends with "-í" or "-íste" for regular verbs. In this case, the verb "pedir" (meaning "to ask for" or "to request") is conjugated in the past tense as "pedí" (I asked for/requested).

So the correct answer is b. "Yo les pedí una fiesta con fuegos artificiales!" which translates to "I asked for/requested a party with fireworks for them!"
