¿Este es el autobús correcto?

How it works

This question is built around the verb 'ser' (to be) and uses a demonstrative pronoun as the subject.

• Este: Demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this one'. It is masculine singular to match the implied subject, 'autobús'.
• es: Third-person singular present tense of 'ser' (to be).
• el autobús correcto: The masculine noun 'autobús' followed by the matching masculine adjective 'correcto' (right/correct).

Register and formality

This phrasing is completely neutral. Because it does not use 'tú' or 'usted' directly, you can use this exact sentence to ask a bus driver, a station attendant, or a fellow passenger without worrying about formality levels.

Regional vocabulary

While 'autobús' is universally understood across the Spanish-speaking world, you will often hear local terms for buses depending on the region, such as 'colectivo', 'guagua', 'micro', or 'camión'. If you substitute one of these, ensure the pronoun and adjective match its gender (e.g., '¿Esta es la guagua correcta?').

Notes

Good before boarding. Neutral everyday wording.
