¿Qué es correcto?

Question

Please help me to choose the correct answer

-Manuel, ¿sabes cómo quedó el partido anoche? - Ni idea, no ... el periódico de momento.

1. hube leído
2. leía
3. habia leído
4. he leído
5. leería

¡Muchas gracias!

Answer 1

Then, it should be he leído, I suppose. Is it?)

Yes, good job. De momento here means, "up to now, so I haven't read it yet. De momento can also mean "at the moment." - DilKen, Jul 9, 2017

If it meant "at the moment" the English would be I'm not reading the newspaper at the moment. - DilKen, Jul 9, 2017

And the Spanish could be no estoy leyendo. But since that wasn't a choice, he leído is best. None of the others work. - DilKen, Jul 9, 2017

Yes, well done, irchuk, he leído is the correct answer :) - FELIZ77, Jul 9, 2017

Answer 2

Irchuck:

This looks like homework, and we will be glad to help. However, you need to give it a try first. What do think this answer is? You can even tell us your 1st choice and your 2nd choice and describe why you are having a hard time deciding. Any background such this will help us to help you solve the problem. If we just gave you the answer, you probably wouldn't learn much.

Do you know what you would say in English to answer the question? Often the English tense should be the same as the Spanish. There are also times when the tenses are different.

I'll give you one clue. For this question the tense in English and Spanish should be the same.
