Spanish language Q&A Forum

This is a nice, practical exercise for those who go to the gym with use of preterite and imperfect. The vocabulary is specialized to the gym of course, which makes it a fun challenge. I like Spanishdict.com for it´s excellent dictionary and verb conjugation tables.   I also found it helpful to check my translation with modern AIs like ChatGPT.com or Perplexity.ai  for other ways to translate this activity using terms specific to my preferred zone, Latin America.  For example in ChatGPT, you can ask:  Review this paragraph for grammar errors and clarity as if you were a professor from (your preferred country or region):  (and paste your transcription after the colon).   You can also ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to translate the original paragraph in English to the Spanish of your preferred country or region so you can see your preferred regional-style of writing.

(in order) to direct the water into the tank    is tranlated as    para dirigir el agua hacia el tanque

I always thought that hacia was more towards and not necessarily entering.  The lesson on hacia doesn't show entering.

For example, how could I distinguish between 'I walked towards the tunnel' and 'I walked into the tunnel' ?
