Dear Professor Gonzales,


You reported the following issue:  'Experience Spanish' chapter 8 TAREAS OCHO question 15, práctica 2 'Los veranos en la finca de los abuelos
problem near the end: “Después de comer, (ayudar) a mi abuela en la huerta. Allí (crecer) tomates, judías, cebollas, zanahorias y muchas otras verduras.”
It is wrong to use ‘crecer’ here, if you mean to imply ‘mi abuela crecía tomates...], etc., because ‘crecer’ is NOT a transitive verb. You could replace this verb with ‘cultivar’ or ‘producir’.
If you mean to imply that the PLANTS were growing, then ‘crecer’ is correct, but your answer key ‘crecia’ is wrong, because there were a LOT of vegetables growing. The correct answer is ‘crecían.’

Práctica 2. Los veranos en la finca de los abuelos has been reviewed and corrected by our content developer.
