Would this be : ' I have used up all the eggs' ?
![]() Because I think you could say ' I have run out of eggs' which also means to be left without eggs, but this seems to me more like a conclusion you draw looking into the fridge e.g. as opposed to 'use up', knowing you have used them all deliberately.. ![]() ![]() For example when you are saying you ran out of gasoline, you are more or less surprised to find yourself suddenly without gasoline since you were unaware of the fact that you were low on it. But 'He gastado toda la gasolina' to me seems to imply you are aware of the fact and are warning another person that he or she needs to get gasoline or something to this effect.. correct? Quote:
![]() I've run out of shoes..? How would you translate ' to run out of options' e.g.? ¿No me quedó ningún opción? Is the verb 'dejar' ever used in this context as well? ![]()

Entonces:
' (no) tener (otra) opción/ alternativa' ' (no) tener (más) opción' ' (no) quedar (más) opciones a alguien' ' (no) quedar (más) remedio a alguien' ![]() ![]() ¿Se encuentra 'remedio' siempre en el singular en este contexto? ![]()
