Question 20 • IC Spanish II - Deering

Choose the best Spanish equivalent to the phrase.You have been cooking for two hours.

Answer
A
Tú cocinas desde hace dos horas.
B
Tú estás cocinando por hace dos horas.
C
Tú cocinas desde las dos horas.
D
Tú estás cocinas desde hace dos horas.

Explanation

For an action that began in the past and is still continuing, Spanish commonly uses the present tense with “desde hace” plus a duration. “Tú cocinas desde hace dos horas” means “You have been cooking for two hours.” Choice B incorrectly combines “por” with “hace,” and choice D uses two verb forms together (“estás cocinas”).
