What does 'ayer' mean in English?

  1. Hotel

  2. Yesterday morning

  3. Yesterday

  4. Last night

The correct answer is: Yesterday

The term 'ayer' translates to 'yesterday' in English. It refers specifically to the day before today, making it a direct expression of time that indicates a past date. Understanding the context can help clarify why the other choices do not fit. For instance, 'yesterday morning' would translate to 'ayer por la maƱana,' and 'last night' would be translated as 'anoche.' The word 'hotel' is unrelated to the concept of time and does not connect to the word 'ayer' in any way. Hence, the most accurate translation for 'ayer' is indeed 'yesterday.'
