Cómo expresar la distancia (how far and how long it takes) El Transporte: ¿Cómo se va? How does one get to a place?
2
La Distancia The word de (from) and the word a (to) are used together to express distance from one place to another. The word desde (originating from) and the word hasta (up until) are also used together to express the distance between two places. The good news is that you can choose the combination you prefer to use, as they are equally correct. Just dont mix them up! The word de cant be used with hasta. The word desde cant be used with a.

Answering about distance We use the verb estar + a or the verb quedar+ a to tell the distance between two places. El museo está a dos millas del cine. Las tiendas quedan a cuatro kilómetros de aquí.

How long it takes to get somewhere To express distance in terms of how long it takes to get from one place to another, use the same expressions that are used for distance: –The verb estar + a –The verb quedar + a The only difference is that you mention the amount of time, instead of distance: –La escuela está a diez minutos de aquí. –El museo queda a una hora de mi casa.
