SCENARIO
Imagine
you
are talking to a relative, a friend or colleague. Maybe you are
planning to go out in the evening. Perhaps facing the possibility of
returning home quite late, the other person is uncertain about the
availability of public transport at a specific time. At some point,
the other person
says to you something like: "is
the underground running at that time?"
In
Spanish, the other person could say:
¿A
esa hora funciona el metro?
OUR
TIP
The question is an
invitation for you to say whether or not the underground will be in
operation at a specific time. Your reply depends on whether you want
to say that you:
- Believe the underground is working;
- Believe the underground is not working;
- Know the underground is working;
- Know the underground is not working;
- Don't know if the underground is working;
Here are some
examples of how you could reply:
- Sí, creo que el metro funciona hasta la una y media de la mañana (yes, I believe the underground runs until 1:30AM).
- No, creo que el metro no funciona a esa hora (no, I believe the underground is not running at that time).
- Sí, el metro funciona hasta la una y media de la mañana (yes, the underground runs until 1:30AM).
- No, el metro no funciona a esa hora (no, the underground is not running at that time).
- No sé si el metro funciona a esa hora (I don't know if the underground is running at that time).
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿A
esa hora funciona el metro?
