Question 23 • IC Spanish II - Deering
A natural Spanish way to describe an action that began five minutes ago and is still continuing is “Hace + time + que + present tense.” Thus, “Hace sólo cinco minutos que esperamos” means “We’ve been waiting for only five minutes.” Choice B suggests waiting for a five-minute duration rather than having waited so far, and C and D use unnatural or incorrect constructions.
