What does the verb "caer" mean?

  1. To fall

  2. To punish

  3. To catch

  4. To attract

The correct answer is: To fall

The verb "caer" translates to "to fall" in English, which is its primary meaning. This verb is commonly used in various contexts, such as describing a physical action where something or someone falls down, as well as in idiomatic expressions. For example, one might say "Me caí" which means "I fell." The other meanings provided by the other options do not correlate with the meaning of "caer." The verb associated with punishment is typically "castigar," while "atrapar" refers to catching something. The verb "atraer," which means to attract, has a distinct meaning separate from "caer." Thus, the identification of "caer" as meaning "to fall" is accurate and reflects its usage in the Spanish language.
