Q2.
We use the preterite to talk about completed actions at a certain point in the past. For regular verbs there are three sets of endings: ar, er and ir verbs. To conjugate regular verbs you must remove the infinitive ending (ar, er, or ir) and add the preterite ending that matches the subject that are indicated in the first Table below. On the other hand, the most common irregular verbs are ser, ir, dar, and ver whose conjugations are illustrated in the second Table.
So, in the sentence:
Los profesores les dieron la tarea a sus estudiantes.
Los profesores can be replaced by the pronoun ellos (they). On the other hand, dieron is the correct conjugation of the verb dar in this tense for the mentioned pronoun as shown in the second Table.
So, Los profesores les dieron la tarea a sus estudiantes means the teachers gave the homework to their students.
Q3.
In the sentence:
Marcos me dio un regalo.
Marcos can be replaced by the pronoun él (he). On the other hand, dio is the correct conjugation of the verb dar in this tense for the mentioned pronoun as shown in the second Table. So:
Marcos me dio un regalo means Marcos gave me a gift
Q4.
In the sentence:
Mi padre me dio un sombrero de México.
As in the exercise Q3, Mi padre can be replaced by the pronoun él (he). Therefore, the conjugation of the verb dar is the same as in the exercise Q3, that is, dio. So:
Mi padre me dio un sombrero de México means My father gave me a hat from Mexico.
Q5.
In the sentence:
Tú quisiste ir al parque.
Tú is a pronoun that means you. On the other hand, quisiste is the correct conjugation of the verb querer (an irregular verb) in this tense for the mentioned pronoun. So:
Tú quisiste ir al parque means you wanted to go to the park.
Q6.
In the sentence:
Yo quise visitar Europa.
Yo is a pronoun that means I. On the other hand, quise is the correct conjugation of the verb querer in this tense for the mentioned pronoun. So:
Yo quise visitar Europa means I wanted to visit Europe
