The directions say... Complete the following sentences with the correct preterit form of the logical verb in parentheses.
Here I have listen 3 out of the 15 questions. I am not really sure what the directions are asking me to do.
Mis padres me ____ (llegar / llamar) por teléfono anoche.
)
A mí me ____ (gustar / escribir) mucho el libro.
Antes de mezclar la masa (dough) para las galletas, Ana ____ (echar /
picar) un poco de azúcar.
Thanks in advance.
I'll send this to our Spanish expert.
It's always easier to understand the directions when there is a model/example as well. It's also a good idea to number the answers.
Because there are 2 verbs to choose from, always choose the one that makes the most sense.
1. Mis padres me lllamaron por teléfono anoche.
2. A mí me gustó mucho el libro.
3. Antes de mezclar la masa para las galletas, Ana echó un poco de azúcar.
I 'll flag this and come back later to see if you have any more questions.

To complete these sentences with the correct preterit form of the logical verb in parentheses, you need to conjugate the verbs in the preterit tense to match the subject and tense of the sentence.
For example, in the first sentence, "Mis padres me ____ (llegar / llamar) por teléfono anoche," you need to choose between "llegar" and "llamar" and conjugate the verb in the preterit tense according to the subject "mis padres" (my parents).
To find the correct form of the verb, you should determine the appropriate conjugation for the subject "mis padres" in the preterit tense. In this case, the correct form of the verb "llamar" in the preterit tense for the subject "mis padres" is "llamaron." So, the correct sentence would be: "Mis padres me llamaron por teléfono anoche."
Similarly, for the second sentence, "A mí me ____ (gustar / escribir) mucho el libro," you need to choose between "gustar" and "escribir" and conjugate the verb in the preterit tense according to the subject "a mí" (I).
Since "gustar" is an irregular verb, the correct form in the preterit tense for the subject "a mí" is "gustó." Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "A mí me gustó mucho el libro."
Lastly, for the third sentence, "Antes de mezclar la masa (dough) para las galletas, Ana ____ (echar / picar) un poco de azúcar," you need to choose between "echar" and "picar" and conjugate the verb in the preterit tense according to the subject "Ana."
The regular verb "echar" conjugated in the preterit tense for the subject "Ana" would be "echó." Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Antes de mezclar la masa para las galletas, Ana echó un poco de azúcar."
Remember to consider the subject, verb conjugation, and preterit tense to complete the sentences correctly.
