Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Participles / Participios
Which verb best completes the sentence?
Mi coche no está __________, tengo que arreglarlo.
funciona
funcionando
trabajando
roto
funcionando
The present participle funcionando is correct; funciona is in the wrong tense; roto doesn't make sense in context (one doesn't fix a car that isn't broken); trabajando is bad Spanish and wrong in context, although it is in the right tense.(Machines function, men and animals work).
Example Question #2 : Participles / Participios
Which verb best completes the sentence?

cargando
cargaba
cargó
cargando
The estar + gerund structure of this sentence means that only right answer is the gerund, cargando.
