Answer:

Part 1: Completing Sentences with Stem - Changing Verbs

1. For “Armando ______ carne o pollo. (almorzar)”

• Step 1: Identify the subject and verb type. The subject “Armando” is third - person singular. The verb “almorzar” is a stem - changing verb with “o→ue” in the present tense.
• Step 2: Conjugate the verb. For third - person singular (él/ella/usted) of “almorzar”, we have “almuerza”.

So the answer is “almuerza”.

2. For “Armando y Noemí ______ ir a pie al restaurante. (poder)”

• Step 1: Identify the subject. “Armando y Noemí” is a third - person plural subject (ellos/ellas/ustedes).
• Step 2: Conjugate “poder” (stem - changing “o→ue” in present tense). For third - person plural, “poder” becomes “pueden”.

So the answer is “pueden”.

3. For “Armando y yo ______ a casa en autobús. (volver)”

• Step 1: Identify the subject. “Armando y yo” is a first - person plural subject (nosotros/nosotras).
• Step 2: Conjugate “volver” (stem - changing “o→ue” in present tense). For first - person plural, “volver” becomes “volvemos”.

So the answer is “volvemos”.

4. For “Nosotros ______ un restaurante para almorzar. (encontrar)”

• Step 1: Identify the subject. “Nosotros” is first - person plural.
• Step 2: Conjugate “encontrar” (stem - changing “o→ue” in present tense). For first - person plural, “encontrar” becomes “encontramos”.

So the answer is “encontramos”.

5. For “El almuerzo ______ quince euros. (costar)”

• Step 1: Identify the subject. “El almuerzo” is third - person singular.
• Step 2: Conjugate “costar” (stem - changing “o→ue” in present tense). For third - person singular, “costar” becomes “cuesta”.

So the answer is “cuesta”.

Part 2: Writing Sentences about Friends

1. (almuerzan)

• Step 1: Use the verb “almuerzan” (third - person plural of “almorzar”) to write a sentence about friends having lunch.
• Step 2: Construct a sentence like “Mis amigos almuerzan en un restaurante italiano.” (My friends have lunch in an Italian restaurant.)

2. (dormis)

• Step 1: “Dormis” is the second - person singular (tú) form of “dormir”. But since we are writing about friends, we can adjust. Wait, maybe a typo? If it's “dormen” (third - person plural of “dormir”), a sentence could be “Mis amigos dormen en un hotel cuando viajan.” (My friends sleep in a hotel when they travel.) If we consider “dormis” as a mistake and use the correct form for friends (third - person plural), this is a possible sentence.

3. (encuentro)

• Step 1: “Encuentro” is first - person singular (yo) of “encontrar”. To write about friends, we can change it to “encuentran” (third - person plural). A sentence: “Mis amigos encuentran muchas tiendas interesantes en el centro.” (My friends find many interesting shops in the center.)

4. (podemos)

• Step 1: “Podemos” is first - person plural (nosotros) of “poder”. A sentence: “Mis amigos y yo podemos ir al cine después del almuerzo.” (My friends and I can go to the movies after lunch.)

5. (vuelves)

• Step 1: “Vuelves” is second - person singular (tú) of “volver”. For friends (third - person plural), use “vuelven”. A sentence: “Mis amigos vuelven a su casa temprano los domingos.” (My friends return to their home early on Sundays.)

Part 3: Writing about the Weekend

Sentence 1 (using “poder”):

• Step 1: Decide on an activity. Let's say going to the park.
• Step 2: Construct the sentence. “El fin de semana, yo puedo ir al parque con mis amigos.” (On the weekend, I can go to the park with my friends.)

Sentence 2 (using “dormir”):

• Step 1: Think about sleeping. Maybe sleeping late.
• Step 2: Construct the sentence. “El sábado por la mañana, yo duermo hasta las once.” (On Saturday morning, I sleep until eleven.)

Sentence 3 (using “almorzar”):

• Step 1: Think about having lunch. Maybe having lunch at a new restaurant.
• Step 2: Construct the sentence. “El domingo, yo almuerzo en un nuevo restaurante de sushi.” (On Sunday, I have lunch at a new sushi restaurant.)
