Question

select the correct answer.
which verb form correctly completes this command that eva says to her friend lupe?
lupe, ¡______ las patatas!
a. comen
b. come
c. comes
d. coma

Explanation:

This is a Spanish grammar question about the imperative (command) form. For the verb "comer" (to eat), the informal (tú) imperative form is "come". Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: "comen" is the third - person plural (ellos/ellas) present indicative, not an imperative for "tú".
• Option B: "come" is the correct informal (tú) imperative form of "comer", used when giving a command to a friend (as Eva is talking to Lupe, a friend, so the "tú" form is appropriate).
• Option C: "comes" is the second - person singular (tú) present indicative, not the imperative.
• Option D: "coma" is the subjunctive form (for "usted" or in subjunctive contexts), not the informal imperative.

Answer:

B. come
