What does 'ponerse' translate to in English?

  1. to fall asleep

  2. to put on

  3. to have a good time

  4. to shave

The correct answer is: to put on

'Ponerse' translates to 'to put on' in English. Option A, 'to fall asleep', is incorrect because 'ponerse' means 'to put on', not 'to fall asleep'. Option C, 'to have a good time', is incorrect because the correct verb for that meaning would be 'divertirse'. Option D, 'to shave', is incorrect because the correct verb for that meaning would be 'afeitarse'. Therefore, the best translation for 'ponerse' is 'to put on'.
