When and why do you change the i to a y when it is between two vowels?
For example, in the preterite tense, why is "conseguir" conjugated in the 3rd person plural to "consiguieron," whereas "construir" is conjugated in the same tense to "construyeron?" If somebody could explain why the I does not change in some preterite verbs (like seguir as well) that'd be great, thank you!

Answers

Answer 1

The change of y for i is due to the fact that verbs ending in "uir" require this change, except those that have g before said combination.

How to identify the correct change with verbs in Preterite Tense?

The verbs that have the ending "uir" in Spanish, in some of their conjugations change the i at the end for a y, for example the verbs "construir, contribuir, sustituir":

Yo: construí / contribuí / sustituíTú: construiste / contribuiste / sustituisteUsted: construyó / contribuyó / sustituyóEl: construyó / contribuyó / sustituyóElla: construyó / contribuyó / sustituyóEllo: construyó / contribuyó / sustituyóNosotros / Nosotras: construimos / contribuimos / sustituimosUstedes: construyeron / contribuyeron / sustituyeronEllos / Ellas: construyeron / contribuyeron / sustituyeron

However, this case does not apply when the ending is "guir," which despite having the same letters in the ending, the combination "gu" is not usually separated, as in the case of "conseguir, distinguir:"

Yo: consigo / distingoTú: consigues / distinguesUsted: consigue / distingueÉl: consigue / distingueElla: consigue / distingueEllo: consigue / distingueNosotros / Nosotras: conseguimos / distinguimosUstedes: consiguen / distinguenEllos / Ellas: consiguen / distinguen

Therefore, you must apply the rule of changing i to y, whenever the ending is "uir," with the exception of those that contain "g" before said combination.

You would say ¿cuántas? when referring to ______ ?

chico
chica
chicas
chicos

Answers

Answer: C. Chicas

Explanation:

When you fill the blank with chicas, it looks like this: ¿Cuántas chicas? You would not use any other term because the word cuántas is plural and feminine.

If it was a masculine or neutral term, it would be "¿cuántos?".

If it was a singular term, it would not exist because the word "cuántas" or "cuántos" means "how many".

Therefore, the answer is C.

The answer is C. Chicas

Explanation:
For chicos it would read ¿Cuántos Chicos?
¿Cuántos? Means how many & can be referring to males. This eliminates A & D. Chica is singular, meaning one. So B, is not the answer.
¿Cuántas? would be referring to females.
