Question

2
select the correct answer
select the verb phrase that correctly completes this sentence.
ellos ______ al golf.
a. estamos jugando
b. estar jugando
c. están jugando
d. está jugando

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the subject "Ellos" (they, plural) and the correct conjugation of the verb "estar" (to be) in the present progressive tense. The correct conjugation of "estar" for "ellos" is "están", and the present participle of "jugar" (to play) is "jugando". So we check each option:

• Option A: "estamos" is for "nosotros" (we), incorrect.
• Option B: "estar" is the infinitive, not conjugated for "ellos", incorrect.
• Option C: "están jugando" has the correct conjugation for "ellos" and the present participle, correct.
• Option D: "está" is for "él/ella/usted" (he/she/you formal), singular, incorrect.

Answer:

C. están jugando
