When do you use the preterite form of the verb "cancelar" in Spanish?
Una vez Uds. __________ el evento.
Answer:
The correct form to fill in the blank is cancelaron. The sentence should read, "Una vez Uds. Cancelaron el evento."
Explanation:
When conjugating the verb "cancelar" (to cancel) in Spanish, the preterite form is used to indicate a completed action in the past. In this case, "cancelaron" is the preterite form of the verb for the subject "Uds." (ustedes - you all).
The conjugation for "cancelar" in the preterite tense is as follows:
- Yo cancelé
- Tú cancelaste
- Usted canceló
- Nosotros/as cancelamos
- Vosotros/as cancelasteis
- Ustedes cancelaron
Therefore, the correct form according to the sentence is "cancelaron" because it matches the subject "Uds." and reflects the action of canceling the event in the past.
