What does 'hace dos días/años' translate to in English?

  1. two days/years from now

  2. two days/years ago

  3. every two days/years

  4. in two days/years

The correct answer is: two days/years ago

The translation of 'hace dos días/años' is 'two days/years ago.' This phrase is commonly used in Spanish to refer to a point in the past, indicating that something happened two days or two years prior to the current moment. When you see 'hace,' it literally means 'ago' in English, which directly conveys the idea of taking the time back to when the event occurred. This structure is a standard way to express elapsed time in relation to the present. The other options do not accurately capture this sense of the past, as they refer to future time or frequency rather than past events.
