Hints for this Quiz
Think plural subject → plural verb (-an).
Use 3rd person plural because the subject is plural (dos barras). Regular -ar verbs take -an in 3rd person plural: quedan. This is basic subject–verb agreement in Spanish .
faltar = to be missing; agree the verb with huevos.
Here faltar means “to be missing/there aren’t enough.” The subject is huevos (plural), so use faltan (3rd person plural -an) .
Think of the clerk’s prompt: «¿Qué le pongo?» → reply with poner too.
In Spain, at a counter you often request using poner: ¿Me pones 200 gramos…? Notice the clerk’s cue «¿qué le pongo?» uses the same verb poner in this service context .
Answer with me + los + llevo (pronouns before the verb).
Correct object-pronoun order: me (IO) + los (DO) + llevo (verb). «Los yogures» = los; llevarse = to take (with you). Spanish places unstressed pronouns before a conjugated verb: me los llevo. See DO/IO pronoun forms and placement rules . Also, the question structure is a yes/no question with ¿? marks, as in Spanish interrogatives .
It’s about what remains on the shelf → quedar + plural.
Piensa en existencias en la estantería.
If there are two tomatoes left, we say Quedan dos tomates (remain/are left). The subject is plural → quedan (3rd person plural) following regular -ar endings .
Think of the service verb the clerk used: poner → «¿Me pones…?»
Fórmula típica para pedir en mostrador en España.
Customers commonly use poner to make requests at the counter: «¿Me pones…?» (tuteo) or «¿Me pone…?» (usted). It mirrors the clerk’s «¿qué le pongo?» you’ll hear in Spain’s shops .
