What is the meaning of "gastar" in English?

To enjoy
To send
To work
To spend

The correct answer is: To spend

The verb "gastar" in Spanish translates to "to spend" in English. It is commonly used in various contexts where one is referring to the expenditure of resources, particularly money. For example, when someone says "gasto mucho dinero en ropa," it means "I spend a lot of money on clothes." In contrast, the other choices do not encapsulate the meaning of "gastar." "To enjoy" would relate to experiencing pleasure, which is conveyed by the verb "disfrutar." "To send" is reflected in the verb "enviar," which deals with the act of dispatching something. Lastly, "to work" translates to "trabajar," which is distinctly different from the concept of spending resources. Therefore, "to spend" is the accurate translation of "gastar."
