What word best completes this sentence. ¿Dónde están Uds.? (Está) (Estás) (Estoy) (Estamos) en la clase de ciencias naturales.

What do YOU say? Many students have difficulty answering Spanish questions. If you do, I suggest you follow these steps and NO shortcuts.

1. Look at the Spanish question. ¿Dónde están ustedes (Uds)?
2. Give the English. Where are you all?
3. Answer FIRST in English. WE are in class.
4. Now, answer in Spanish. (Nosotros/nosotras) estamos en la clase.)
5. A more sophisticated exercise you will do one day is to look at your answer and try to come up with the Spanish question!

Sra

Uds. Espanol. Si hablanos espanol.

To determine the correct word to complete the sentence, we need to understand the subject and verb agreement in Spanish. In this case, the subject is "Uds." which is the abbreviation for "ustedes" meaning "you all." It is a plural pronoun, and the verb form that agrees with the subject "Uds." is "están."

So the correct word to complete the sentence is "(Están)."
