What do you think it is? - Brett1971, DIC 13, 2009

I don't know... The question doesn't really make scene to me. By that, I mean, none of the words really make sense in the sentence. - Cristóbal94, DIC 13, 2009

veía = imperfect - icanrideawave, DIC 13, 2009

There is more than one person so the imperfect has to be plural. - Eddy, DIC 13, 2009

Unfortunately we do not do homework. We will, however, check your answers if you try it yourself.

Well, I have no idea what works in here... Not trying to cheat or anything. I just thought I (or the worksheet) was missing something. - Cristóbal94, DIC 13, 2009

Answer 3

should be "juegan" from the verb jugar (to play)

they could see a ball in the sand, theoretically - Brett1971, DIC 13, 2009

It's not the sand, it's a stadium. - icanrideawave, DIC 13, 2009

Arena means sand. Stadium is estadio. - Brett1971, DIC 13, 2009

I think it's juegan, but I'm not quite sure...

jugar isn't one of the choices - Brett1971, DIC 13, 2009

in the imperfect tense.

Juegan a la pelota
