Completa la frase: ____ dos días para el puente.
Correct: 0/7
Hints for this Quiz
Make the verb agree with "dos días".
Correcto: "Faltan dos días…". The subject is "dos días" (plural), so we use "faltan". "Falta/Queda" are singular and don’t agree here.
“There are 5 minutes left” — use "quedar/faltar" in the plural.
"Quedan cinco minutos" is the natural phrase to say how much time is left. "Falta cinco minutos" has an agreement error (it should be "Faltan"). The other two options don’t work in terms of meaning/grammar.
Begin your answer with "Aún no…", then say how much time is left.
You need to start the answer with "Aún no…". Option A is grammatically correct and gives the intended meaning. The other options either don’t follow the instruction or are wrong in terms of tense/word choice.
Look for a natural, positive sentence saying that the "puente" is very, very close.
Office in Spain, a long weekend is coming up.
"Ya casi es puente" is right: basically “it’s almost the long weekend”. The other options contain grammatical errors ("Faltas", "un días") or don’t make sense logically.
Agreement: "un minuto" is singular → 3rd person singular form.
"Un minuto" is singular, so we use "Falta". "Faltan/Quedan" require a plural subject. "Quedo" is the wrong person (1st person singular).
Think “time left until…” — in Spanish that’s "para".
After "faltar/quedar" to express “how much time is left UNTIL an event”, Spanish uses "para": "Faltan dos días para…". The other prepositions don’t work here.
"Ya casi…" = "almost already…" — very soon!
The expression "Ya casi es puente" means that the long weekend is very near. The other options change the meaning.
