When I was a boy, my bedroom was always messy because I never _____.
i'm not sure what the answer choices mean
i think it's A..?
Arreglar means to fix, in this case, to organize/clean you room. If you are tying to say you would never clean your room. You would use the imperfective.
which one would that be..?, im really stuck

Enter the infinitive form of the verb for which you need to check the conjunation; then choose the form you need to use.
a. "yo" form of arreglar, in the Present Tense = I straighten up, I do straighten up, I am straightening up
b. either the "yo" or the "el/ella/usted" form in the Imperfect. I used to straighten up (or he), I was straightening up (or he), I st raightened up (or he)
c. the "yo" form of the Preterit. I straightened up, I did straighten up
d. the gerund or "ndo" form = straightening up (this is NOT a conjugated verb when it stands alone)
Sra

Yes, it is B.

To determine the correct answer to the question, we should look at the verb form that matches the subject and tense of the sentence. In this case, the subject is "yo" (meaning "I" in English), and the tense of the sentence is past.
Let's analyze each answer choice and see if it matches the subject and tense:
a. arreglo - This is the present tense form of the verb "arreglar," which means "to tidy up." However, the sentence requires a past tense form.
b. arreglaba - This is the imperfect tense form of the verb "arreglar," which means "was tidying up." The imperfect tense is used to describe ongoing actions in the past, so it matches the subject and tense of the sentence. This answer choice is correct.
c. arreglé - This is the preterite tense form of the verb "arreglar," which means "tidied up." The preterite tense is used to describe completed actions in the past. Since the sentence suggests an ongoing state, rather than a specific instance of tidying up, this answer choice is not the best fit.
d. arreglando - This is the present participle form of the verb "arreglar," which means "tidying up" or "in the process of tidying up." Since the sentence is discussing a past situation, this answer choice with present tense form is not appropriate.
Based on the analysis above, the correct answer is b. arreglaba, as it matches the subject "yo" and the past tense of the sentence.
