Answer 4

Part I:

1. The correct answer is "están invitando." To form the present progressive tense in Spanish, you need to conjugate the verb "estar" (to be) in the present tense and add the gerund form of the main verb. In this case, the subject is "vosotras," so you need to use the second-person plural form of "estar," which is "estáis" or "están" depending on the region. Since the gerund of "invitar" is "invitando," you combine the two to get "están invitando."

2. The correct answer is "están viniendo." Following the same logic as in the previous sentence, you need to conjugate "estar" in the second-person plural form and add the gerund form of "venir," which is "viniendo." The correct conjugation of "estar" in this case is "están."

3. The correct answer is "estamos siguiendo." Again, you need to use the first-person plural form of "estar," which is "estamos," and combine it with the gerund form of "seguir," which is "siguiendo."

Part II:

1. The correct answer is "me estoy acostando." To attach the pronoun "me" to the gerund "acostando," you simply add it in front of the gerund. Since "acostando" is stressed on the second-to-last syllable, no accent mark is needed.

2. The correct answer is "nos estamos concentrando en el problema." Similarly, you add the pronoun "nos" before the gerund "concentrando." In this case, "concentrando" is also stressed on the second-to-last syllable, so no accent mark is necessary.

3. The correct answer is "Ellos la están comiendo." In this sentence, you need to attach the pronoun "la" to the gerund "comiendo." However, since "comiendo" is stressed on the last syllable, you need to add an accent mark to maintain the correct accentuation.

Part III:

1. The correct answer is "estás." In this sentence, you need to use the second-person singular form of "estar" because the subject is "tú." The correct conjugation is "estás."

2. The correct answer is "es." In this sentence, you need to use the third-person singular form of "ser" because the subject is "mi suegro." The correct conjugation is "es."

3. The correct answer is "están." The subject is "nuestras hijas," which is plural, so you need to use the third-person plural form of "estar," which is "están."

4. The correct answer is "estoy." The subject is "yo," so you need to use the first-person singular form of "estar," which is "estoy."

5. The correct answer is "está." The subject is "Tomás," so you need to use the third-person singular form of "estar," which is "está."

6. The correct answer is "somos." The subject is "mi esposo y yo," which is plural, so you need to use the first-person plural form of "ser," which is "somos."

7. The correct answer is "están." The subject is "mis padres," which is plural, so you need to use the third-person plural form of "estar," which is "están."
