This Spanish Easy Review grammar quiz will continue the series of quizzes that focus on learning the base version of Spanish verbs. The base version is when the word 'to' comes before the verb such as 'to sing' or 'to play'.
As you will recall, in Spanish, there are three different types of base verbs. These are verbs that end in ar, er and ir. This quiz is the second quiz that will look at some of the er verbs. In the Spanish Easy Review ER Verbs (Group 1) you learned the following base verbs: to learn, to sweep, to drink, to believe, to fall, to eat, to understand, to run, to make, to do, to read, to have, to see and to sell.

Now, in Group 2, you will be adding to that list of base verbs as follows.
English | Spanish | Pronounced (Phonetically) As |
to absorb | absorber | ăb-soar-bear |
to burn | arder | ăr-dear |
to fit (in) | caber | că-bear |
to ache | doler | dō-lear |
to exceed | exceder | ex-sāy-dear |
to rain | llover | yō-vear |
to put | meter | mā-tear |
to lose | perder | pear-dear |
to place | poner | pō-near |
to own, to possess | poseer | pō-sāy-ear |
to promise | prometer | prō-māy-tear |
to break | romper | rŏm-pear |
to knit, to weave, to crochet | tejer | tāy-hear (Notice the 'j' has an 'h' sound.) |
to cough | toser | tō-sear |
Remember to take the time to really learn and memorize each of these verbs. The best way to learn them is to sound each one out loudly enough to hear yourself say and pronounce them. You want to train your ears to hear each word so that when it hears it in a conversation your brain says: 'Oh, I know what that means!'
Once you feel you have each verb well memorized, test your memory by reading the following ten sentences. Each sentence has a base verb that is capitalized. From the answers given, see if you can quickly find the meaning of the capitalized verb!
