Answers:

a) In spanish (castillian) gramar the Preterite or Simple Past Tense is used to express specific actions completed or concluded in the past that are separated from the present.  

In other words:  

It is applied when the person speaking gives information about the past that is not related to the present.  

Knowing this, let’s begin with the answers:  

1. Right Tú comenzaste ayer.

In this sentence the main verb is comenzar (to begin). This Spanish verb is conjugated in preterite with the second person in singular tú (you) as comenzaste (you began).

In english the sentence is written as follows:

You began yesteray

2. Right Yo escribí una carta.

In this sentence the main verb is escribir (to write). This Spanish verb is conjugated in preterite with the first person in singular yo (I) as escribí (I wrote).

In english the sentence is written as follows:

I wrote a letter

3. Right Nosotros vivimos en San Diego.

In this sentence the main verb is vivir (to live). This Spanish verb is conjugated in preterite with the first person in plural nosotros (we) as vivimos (we lived).

In english the sentence is written as follows:

We lived in San Diego

4. Right Mis padres pagaron para la cena.

In this sentence the main verb is pagar (to pay). This Spanish verb is conjugated in preterite with the third person in plural ellos (they), which is the subject Mis padres, as pagaron (they paid).

In english the sentence is written as follows:

My parents paid for dinner

5. Right Ellos jugaron el béisbol.

In this sentence the main verb is jugar (to play). This Spanish verb is conjugated in preterite with the third person in plural ellos (they), as jugaron (they played).

In english the sentence is written as follows:

They played baseball

b) Write both the infinitive form and the preterite yo form of the following verb.

The infinitive form of a verb is the verb in its basic form (in present), in other words is like the name or presentation of a verb as it appears in grammar or when you search in the dictionary .

It is usually preceded by to, but is not always necessary; this will depend on the context.

On the other hand, “the preterite yo form” of a verb is the conjugation of a verb in preterite or simple past tense with the fisrt person in singular yo (I).

Now, we have two verbs below, to pay (pagar) and to prefer (preferir):

1. to pay

Infinitive form: Pagar Preterite yo form: Yo pagué

2. to prefer

Infinitive form: Preferir Preterite yo form: Yo preferí c) Right almorzará  

In the sentence below according to the context, the right verb is almorzar (to lunch) conjugated in future with the third person in singular él (he) which is Mi abuelo (My grandfather), as almorzará (he will lunch or he will have lunch).

Therefore, the sentence is:

Hoy mi abuelo no come con nosotros. Él almorzará con unos amigos.

Today my grandfather does not eat with us. He will have lunch with some friends

The option traer (to bring) does not match with the context.

For this question, it will be important to use the words "mejor" (better), "lo mejor" (the best), and "lo peor" (the worst). while "mejor" is comparative (you are comparing one thing to something else), "lo mejor" and "lo peor" are superlative (there is nothing else better or worse than what these words are describing - there is no comparison).  you could say something like: la música rap es mejor que la música clásica - que es lo peor - pero la música rock es lo mejor de todas las formas de la música (rap music is better than classical music - which is the worst - but rock music is the best out of all the forms of music).

The correct answer is, “ella te da muchos regalos a ti”. it cannot be any of the other answers because at the beginning of the sentence they said “te da”, meaning it’s giving something to you. if the sentence was “ella me da muchos regalos” the answer will be “a mí.”if the sentence was “ella le da muchos regalos” the answer will be “a ella.” and so on. hope this .
