Driving / Cars Vocab (Part 2)
Source: Sarah777 (Wikipedia)
It's a "puente" for some this weekend and many people will be driving somewhere.
I wonder how many times I've been asked how to say "puente" in English.
un día festivo = a holiday
If the holiday lands on a Friday or a Monday, then we can say it's a "long weekend".
If, like now, the holiday is on a Thursday, we can take Friday off. Otherwise, it's a normal, working day.
So really "puente" doesn't exist in English - we just "have a day off".
Here is A - M (Part 2). You can also refresh your memory by reading Part 1.
