—¿Fuiste al consultorio esta tarde? —Sí, _____ allí dos horas. A. fui B. fue C. estuvo D. estuve I think it's A or D but I'm not sure

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Let me translate this for you so you can have a better understanding. :} Did you got to the office this afternoon? Yes, _____ _____ there two hours. a. I went b. he went c. He was d. I was Think about who was there and try to think about what the sentence is trying to say. ;]

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Oops, typo. "Did you GO*"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is D?

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Yes, you are correct. ;}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No i think it is A

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Okay, Erica let me try to explain this to you...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the question says fuiste and you answer si fui

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Okay, Erica, it is actually trying to confuse you. Look at where I translated it into English. It wouldn't be logical to say: "Yes, I went there for two ours." (Si, yo fui alli dos horas) Now, it would be logical to say... "Yes, I went there. I was there for two hours." But that is not one of the answer choices, so we can't just do that. And "fui" means "I went", and you are not going to two hours....you can't say "Oh, I went to to two hours" So, I know the answer should be D. :)
