Question

select the correct answer
which verb form correctly completes this sentence?
hace dos días que federico se cayó y ______ dolor en la espalda.
a. tuve
b. tuvo
c. tuvimos
d. tuviste

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the subject and verb conjugation. The subject is "Federico" (third - person singular). The verb "tener" (to have) in the preterite tense for third - person singular is "tuvo". Let's check the other options:

• Option A: "tuve" is first - person singular (yo tuve), so it doesn't match the subject Federico.
• Option C: "tuvimos" is first - person plural (nosotros tuvimos), which is incorrect for a singular subject.
• Option D: "tuviste" is second - person singular (tú tuviste), and it doesn't match the third - person singular subject Federico.

Answer:

B. tuvo
