🚗 Your Spanish Driver

Hola 👋

Uh oh! Looks like the Uber driver went to the wrong place! It’s a good thing you understand how to talk about time and place in Spanish thanks to this helpful role-play lesson!

Answers:

(1) “llego” (I arrive)

The word "llego" is the first-person singular form of the verb "llegar," which means "to arrive" in English.

An alternative way to convey a similar message using a different verb might be "estaré ahí."

In this case, the sentence could be rephrased as "Estaré ahí en 5 minutos," which translates to "I will be there in 5 minutes." Here, the verb "estar" is used in the future tense to indicate where the speaker will be. While "llego" focuses on the action of arriving, "estaré ahí" focuses on being at a certain place in the future.

Both phrases can be used interchangeably to indicate expected time of arrival, but they have slightly different nuances.

(2) “pronto” (soon)

"Pronto" is an adverb in Spanish used to indicate that something will happen shortly or in a near time frame.

Another word that could have been used to convey a similar meaning is "rápido," which means "fast" or "quickly." However, "rápido" emphasizes the speed of the action, while "pronto" emphasizes the nearness of the time. In the context of assuring someone you'll be somewhere soon, "pronto" is a more appropriate choice.
