Question

select the correct answer
which verb phrase correctly completes this sentence?

ana y valeria ________ en la playa.

a. estás jugando
b. estoy jugando
c. estamos jugando
d. están jugando

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the subject and verb agreement in Spanish. The subject "Ana y Valeria" is plural (two people), so we need a plural verb form. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: "estás jugando" is the second - person singular (tú) form of the present progressive, which is incorrect for a plural subject.
• Option B: "estoy jugando" is the first - person singular (yo) form, incorrect for a plural subject.
• Option C: "estamos jugando" is the first - person plural (nosotros) form, but the subject is "Ana y Valeria" (they), not "we".
• Option D: "están jugando" is the third - person plural (ellos/ellas) form, which matches the plural subject "Ana y Valeria".

Answer:

D. están jugando
