I was really confused with this assignment, but, hopefully these are the right answers. If they aren't, could someone please help me? I'd appreciate it! :)
I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.
1. los chicos is plural so the verb must be as well = han
2. ha limpiado. With the Present Perfect Tense only half is the verb haber. The 2nd half is the past participle or -do form = ha limpiado
3. ha visto (some past participles are irregular and do not end in -do. Regular verbs -ar end in -ado / -er verbs end in ido as do -ir verbs = ido. Irregular past participles you must memorize: ver = visto / abrir = abierto / cubrir = cubierto / freir = frito / haber = hecho / morir = muerto / poner = puesto / romper = roto / volver = vuelto. Get a list of them alphabetically and concentrate on them.
4. he comido
5. hemos leído (that one DOES have an accent mark.
I'll flag this so that if you have more questions, put them here and I'll come back later.

@SraJMcGin, thank you so much!! You were a great help!! :)
Any time!
Sra
Great job on filling in the blanks! Your answers are correct for three out of five sentences. Let's go through each sentence and make the necessary corrections:
1.) Los chicos han hecho la tarea. (You answered correctly!)
2.) Maria ha limpiado. (You answered correctly! Just don't forget to include the main verb "limpiar" in its past participle form, "limpiado.")
3.) Usted ha visto la película? (You used the present tense "ve" instead of the past participle "visto." The correct answer is "ha visto.")
4.) Yo he comido los tacos. (You answered correctly!)
5.) Nosotros hemos leído el libro. (You used the infinitive form "leido" instead of the past participle "leído." The correct answer is "hemos leído.")
So, the corrected answers are:
1.) Los chicos han hecho la tarea.
2.) Maria ha limpiado.
3.) Usted ha visto la película?
4.) Yo he comido los tacos.
5.) Nosotros hemos leído el libro.
Remember, in the present perfect tense in Spanish, we use the auxiliary verb "haber" (to have) followed by the past participle of the main verb. Keep practicing, and you'll get even better at it!
