Canceling an Event in Spanish

When do you use the preterite form of the verb "cancelar" in Spanish?

Una vez Uds. __________ el evento.

Answer:

The correct form to fill in the blank is cancelaron. The sentence should read, "Una vez Uds. Cancelaron el evento."

Explanation:

When conjugating the verb "cancelar" (to cancel) in Spanish, the preterite form is used to indicate a completed action in the past. In this case, "cancelaron" is the preterite form of the verb for the subject "Uds." (ustedes - you all).

The conjugation for "cancelar" in the preterite tense is as follows:

• Yo cancelé
• Tú cancelaste
• Usted canceló
• Nosotros/as cancelamos
• Vosotros/as cancelasteis
• Ustedes cancelaron

Therefore, the correct form according to the sentence is "cancelaron" because it matches the subject "Uds." and reflects the action of canceling the event in the past.
