Help with ''reducir''

Question

I am having trouble answering this question. The blank should contain the verb reducir. I know it shouldn't be conjugated into reducen, so should it just be left in the infinitive form?

Future/Future Perfect Tense

For 2-4, I have a word bank to use and the only words I have left over are: hacer, haber, and dar.

I conjugated dar into dirán and put that in #2, haber into habrán and put that in #3, and hacer into habrán hecho and put that in #4.

However, I was told they are all wrong. I don't understand why it's wrong, or what the right answer would be.

I spaced for clarity. I know you joined in June but I wanted to welcome you to the forum. Good questions and effort. - bandit51jd, Sep 6, 2012

Answer 1

Great questions.

Para él, es importante que los países desarrollados tomen medidas para ___ drásticamente la contaminación ambiental. You can use reducir, disminuir. And you will need to keep the verb in the infinitive since it follows the preposition para.

El Banco Mundial y el Fondo Monetario Internacional ___ más préstamos para el suministro de agua potable. You may any of these verbs: otorgar, aprobar or conceder. To issue or approve a loan. A conjugated verb is required.

En México, D.F., Santiago de Chile y Lima ____ menos agua en las reservas subterráneas. You can use existir/haber in a conjugated form.

Los gobiernos ____ los cambios necesarios para controlar la explotación de recursos naturales.You can use realizar/efectuar/hacer in a conjugated form.

I will be more than glad to review your answers later.

Answer 2

I am having trouble answering this question. The blank should contain the verb reducir. I know it shouldn't be conjugated into reducen, so should it just be left in the infinitive form?

I am having a little trouble understanding what you are needing, here are my guesses:

Infinitive -- reducir
Future Indicative (yo form) -- reduciré
Future Perfect (yo form) -- habré reducido

I conjugated dar into dirán and put that in #2, haber into habrán and put that in #3, and hacer into habrán hecho and put that in #4.

Infinitive -- dar
Future Indicative (yo form) -- daré
Future Perfect (yo form) -- habré dado

Infinitive -- haber
Future Indicative (yo form) -- habré
Future Perfect (yo form) -- habré habido

Infinitive -- hacer
Future Indicative (yo form) -- haré
Future Perfect (yo form) -- habré hecho
