Question

which verb form correctly completes this sentence? para llegar al sastre a tiempo, tú ______ que salir dentro de veinte minutos. a. tendría b. tendrías c. tener d. tendríamos

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the subject and verb conjugation in Spanish. The subject is "tú" (you, informal singular). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: "tendría" is the first - person singular (yo) or third - person singular subjunctive/conditional of "tener", not for "tú".
• Option B: "tendrías" is the second - person singular (tú) conditional form of "tener", which fits the context of "to have to leave" (tener que salir) in the conditional to express a recommendation or a situation of necessity.
• Option C: "tener" is the infinitive form, and we need a conjugated verb here, so it's incorrect.
• Option D: "tendríamos" is the first - person plural (nosotros) conditional form, which doesn't match the subject "tú".

Answer:

B. tendrías
