Example Question #1 : Infinitives / Infinitivos
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Antes de __________, hago mi tarea.
he salido
saldría
salgo
salí
salir
salir
The correct answer is salir. Because of the "de" the following word must be in the infinitive form.
Example Question #2 : Infinitives / Infinitivos
Which verb form is grammatically correct?
Para mi, es mejor __________ libre que tener riqueza.
ser
haber
soy
tener
ser
Ser is the only correct answer as it is both the only verb that agrees grammatically with the adjective libre. Further, the infintive structure is neccesary as the verb's indicative form, soy, would be incorrect in an impersonal statement.
Example Question #3 : Infinitives / Infinitivos
Which verb form best completes this sentence?
El perro huele mal, pues hay que __________ lo.
bañar
voltar
baña
bañaba
bañar
The only verb that fits the impersonal necessity haber construction of this sentence is the infinitve bañar. Bañaba and baña are in the wrong tenses, and voltar, while in the right tense, makes no sense in context.
