Hints for this Quiz
Look for the option that directly means "that time works for me."
In Spanish, "Me viene bien" means "that works for me / that suits me (timewise)" — a natural way to accept. "Estoy de acuerdo" is "I agree" with an opinion or statement, not about suggesting a time to meet. "Me pilla mal…" is a polite refusal with a reason. Situations like "quedada para hacer deporte" (meeting up to do some sport) are typical role-play topics in Spanish courses.
Look for the colloquial phrase meaning "it’s not a good time / it doesn’t suit me now."
"Me pilla mal" is a colloquial way to say "it’s not a good time for me / it’s inconvenient right now." In everyday conversations about sport, these short expressions sound very natural (see the units on colloquial speech and everyday conversations about sport).
Three are natural, ready-made patterns; one is broken Spanish.
The first three are normal invitation patterns in Spain. The last sentence is ungrammatical Spanish. The idea of a "quedada para hacer deporte" is a typical context for practicing invitations.
Remember the rule: jugar + a + el = al.
The structure is "quedar para + infinitivo". And with ball sports you say "jugar + a + el = al" → "jugar al baloncesto". So the most correct option is "Quedamos para jugar al…" (compare with the explanation in "Practicar deporte vs. Jugar a un deporte").
Combine a time-based refusal with an alternative like "tomorrow works for me."
This is a polite refusal plus an alternative: "Me pilla mal, pero mañana puedo" (note the use of the modal verb "poder"). In Spanish-speaking culture, talking about sport and making plans is friendly; it’s good to give a short, polite refusal and suggest another time.
Look for the colloquial form that means "will you join us?"
The colloquial invitation "¿Te vienes?" means "are you coming with us? / will you join us?" Here, you don’t need another "a" because "al gimnasio" is already mentioned earlier. This is a typical colloquial register for making sports plans.
Choose the one that sounds more formal and less colloquial in Spain.
"Con gusto" sounds formal and/or Latin American. In informal Peninsular Spanish, options like "me viene bien", "perfecto" or "de lujo" (very colloquial) are more natural when accepting plans.
Pick the most friendly and informal way to address a friend.
In Spain, "tío/tía" is a very common friendly way to address a close friend. The other options are formal/official forms of address, not used for casual sports invitations among friends.
