An official public announcement is broadcast over the loudspeakers at an international airport terminal. Complete the transcript of the announcement by determining the correct formal plural command forms (ustedes) of the verbs in parentheses ('permanecer' and 'tener') to maintain the proper formal register. Which verb forms correctly complete the blanks?
Cevap:Atención, señores pasajeros del vuelo 304 con destino a Lima: les rogamos que no se aglomeren frente a la puerta de embarque. Por favor, 【permanezcan】 (permanecer) en la zona de espera y 【tengan】 (tener) su tarjeta de embarque y pasaporte listos para la inspección.
Cevap
The first blank requires 'permanezcan' and the second blank requires 'tengan'.
The announcement addresses an audience of travelers formally in the plural ('señores pasajeros', 'les rogamos'), requiring the 'ustedes' imperative forms. The formal plural affirmative commands for 'permanecer' and 'tener' are derived from the present subjunctive, yielding 'permanezcan' and 'tengan'.
