Más oraciones con el pretérito
So, I'm still working on the Preterit chapter. In this exercise, I needed to translate several sentences. I didn't even get half of them right.
Anyway - I only have questions about one of the sentences. (The rest I was able to figure out my error.) English: Elisa and I could not get to your meeting at six o'clock. My Spanish translation: Elisa y yo no pudimos asistir tu reunión a las sies. Corrected translation (from the answer key): Elisa y yo no pudimos 1) Would "asistir" work in this sentence? 2) I don't understand why llegar works here. I thought llegar means to arrive. I don't understand. [And, P.S., I didn't like that they used the English word "get". I'm disliking that word more and more....] 3) Why "a la" instead of "tu"? ¡¡¡Gracias!!!
