1. Conjugate the verb prefirer in all forms in the Present Tense.

Answer: Stem-changing verbs in the present tense have the same verb endings as regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs when conjugated, but go through a vowel change in the last syllable of the stem.

21. The verb preferir is conjugated as follows:
- Yo prefiero (I prefer)
- Tú prefieres (You prefer)
- Él/Ella/Usted prefiere (He/She/You(formal) prefer)
- Nosotros/Nosotras preferimos (We prefer)
- Vosotros/Vosotras preferís (You all prefer)
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes prefieren (They/You all prefer)
The stem-changing that takes place in the verb preferir occurs in the present tense for all pronouns except nosotros and vosotros. The vowel e in the stem changes to ie, except in the nosotros form where it changes to i.
22. The verb ser is conjugated as follows:
- Yo soy (I am)
- Tú eres (You are)
- Él/Ella/Usted es (He/She/You(formal) are)
- Nosotros/Nosotras somos (We are)
- Vosotros/Vosotras sois (You all are)
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes son (They/You all are)
Two circumstances in which you would use the verb ser are:
- To express permanent or inherent qualities, such as physical appearance, nationality, or professions. For example, "Ella es alta" (She is tall), "Soy estadounidense" (I am American), "Somos médicos" (We are doctors).
- To indicate origin or possession. For example, "El libro es de Juan" (The book is Juan's), "La casa es de mi familia" (The house is my family's).
25. The sentence "¿Qué haces para mantener la salud?" translates to "What do you do to maintain your health?" in English.
21. To conjugate the verb "preferir" in its present tense form, we first need to identify its stem, which is "prefer". Then we replace the last two letters of the stem with the appropriate endings based on the subject pronoun. Here is the conjugation of "preferir" in the present tense:
- Yo prefiero (I prefer)
- Tú prefieres (You prefer)
- Él/Ella/Usted prefiere (He/She/You prefer)
- Nosotros preferimos (We prefer)
- Vosotros preferís (You all prefer)
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes prefieren (They/You all prefer)
"Preferir" is a stem-changing verb because in some forms, specifically in the third-person singular and plural forms (él, ella, usted, ellos, ellas, ustedes), the e in the stem changes to an ie. This is a common pattern in Spanish verbs, where the stem vowel changes to ie, e:i, or o:ue in certain conjugations.
22. To conjugate the verb "ser" (to be) in its present tense form, we use the following conjugations:
- Yo soy (I am)

- Nosotros somos (We are)
- Vosotros sois (You all are)
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes son (They/You all are)
The verb "ser" is very versatile and has many uses in Spanish. Here are two circumstances in which you would use the verb "ser":
1. Nationality/Origin: When expressing someone's nationality or place of origin, we use "ser". For example:
- Soy mexicano/a. (I am Mexican.)
- Él es de España. (He is from Spain.)
