  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 don’t mix them up! The word “de” can’t be used with “hasta.” The word “desde” can’t be used with “a.”

  8. 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.
