They are all wrong!
To check if your answers are correct, we need to understand the rules for forming commands in Spanish.
In Spanish, commands are formed differently depending on who you are addressing and whether the command is affirmative or negative.
For singular commands addressed to a friend, you use the informal "tú" form and add an "s" to the end of the verb. For plural commands addressed to friends or strangers, you use the "ustedes" form and remove the "s" from the end of the verb.
To form negative commands, you add the word "no" before the verb.
Now let's check your answers using these rules:
1.) Listen! (friend)
Your answer: D. - "Escuchen"
To form a singular command addressed to a friend, we should use the informal "tú" form with an "s" added to the verb. Therefore, the correct answer should be "Escucha."
Incorrect.
2.) Listen! (you guys)
Your answer: E. - "Escucha"
To form a plural command addressed to a group, we should use the "ustedes" form without an "s" at the end of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer should be "Escuchen."
Incorrect.
3.) Don’t listen! (stranger)
Your answer: B. - "No escuches"
To form a negative singular command addressed to a stranger, we should use the informal "tú" form with an "s" added to the verb, and add "no" before the verb. Therefore, the correct answer should be "No escuche."
Incorrect.
4.) Don’t listen! (friend)
Your answer: C. - "No escuches"
To form a negative singular command addressed to a friend, we should use the informal "tú" form with an "s" added to the verb, and add "no" before the verb. Therefore, the correct answer should be "No escuches."
Correct.
5.) Don’t listen! (you guys)
Your answer: A. - "No escuchen"
To form a negative plural command addressed to a group, we should use the "ustedes" form without an "s" at the end of the verb, and add "no" before the verb. Therefore, the correct answer should be "No escuchen."
Incorrect.
Corrected answers:
1.) Listen! (friend) - "Escucha"
2.) Listen! (you guys) - "Escuchen"
3.) Don’t listen! (stranger) - "No escuche"
4.) Don’t listen! (friend) - "No escuches"
5.) Don’t listen! (you guys) - "No escuchen"
