Explanation:

In this activity we have to put the conversation in order so it will make sense. The conversation uses the present perfect tense, which in Spanish is used to talk about event, actions or things that started in the past and continue to the present, and also to talk about things that happened in the recent past. In this case, when translating to English, we can use the "simple past" The conversation in this exercise falls under the second use.

The conversation in English is:

- Hi, where have you been? I didn't see you in class

- I couldn't go. I arrived late

- Why?

- Because the two o´clock bus didn´t pass, so I had to wait for the three o´clock one.

- But, you didn't bring your car?

- Not today, because Miguel asked me for it to go to the mall.
