Mini-dialogue

¿Quedamos en la Plaza Mayor?

Sí, junto a los soportales.

Try this in conversation: “¿Quedamos en la Plaza Mayor?” — “Shall we meet in Plaza Mayor?” Read the mini-dialogue aloud, change one detail and answer in your own words.

Try it yourself

Imagine arranging a meeting. Pick a clear landmark and explain which side you will wait on.
