An endpoint can be a place, time or limit.
The idea
Use hasta before the endpoint of a route or interval. Desde can introduce its starting point.
Examples
- Corremos hasta la fuente.We run as far as the fountain.
- El sendero llega hasta el lago.The path reaches the lake.
- Espera hasta el viernes.Wait until Friday.
- La farmacia abre hasta las ocho.The pharmacy is open until eight.
- La niña cuenta hasta diez.The girl counts to ten.
- Viajamos desde el puerto hasta la isla.We travel from the port to the island.
