Respuesta :

Answer: Piensan, Pensamos

Explanation:

In this short conversation, we have a question with its answer and we have to use the correct form of the spanish verb pensar (to think).

For the first part: ¿Qué ____ hacer ustedes?

Ustedes is the 2nd person in plural you, this means we have to use the form of the verb pensar in present for this subject, which is piensan.

Hence, the complete question is:

¿Qué piensan hacer ustedes?

For the second part:  __________ ir a la piscina.

The answer is given with the 1st person in plural nosotros (we), although it is not explicity written, hence the correct form of the verb pensar is pensamos (we think)

Then the complete conversation is:

¿Qué piensan hacer ustedes?

Pensamos ir a la piscina.

Answer:

1-piensan, 2-pensamos

Explanation:

Qué piensan hacer ustedes? Pensamos ir a la piscina.

In these sentenecs, there is a shift in person, whereas in the question the grammatical person is "ustedes" (they), in the answer it changes to "nosotros" (we). In the first case, the verb "piensan" is conjugated in the present for the third person plural "ustedes" to ask what they are planning to do. In the second case, the verb "pensamos" has been used in the present for the first person plural "nosotros" to answer that question of what we are planning to do.
