“Rellene el espacio en el texto con el verbo dado, en el tiempo apropiado” Ayer mi madre ___ (ir) al médico y le _____ (aconsejar) que _____ (tomar) algunas pastillas.

1.     Ir = fue“Ayer” is one of the many indicators which tells us that we need the preterite tense, as it indicates a “one-off” and “finished” action. Therefore, we conjugate ir in the third-person singular preterite, which is fue 2.     Aconsejar = aconsejóFor the same reason as above, “ayer” indicates the preterite tense, and we use the third-person singular because the Doctor advised the mother 3.     Tomar = tomaraThe subjunctive is needed as aconsejar is a verb of recommendation (like sugerir, ordenar, etc.) As the recommendation was made in the past tense, we need the imperfect subjunctive in the third-person singular form, giving us tomara.
