Find the next "related" word

Question

The idea is to find a word "related" to the word in the previous answer

and

write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word..

Example:

Talk – They talk about money - Conversar -Conversan acerca de dinero

Speak – He wants to speak to you. - Hablar - (Él) quiere hablar con usted.

Speak is "related" to Talk - so the first answer must be related to Speak

Answer 15

Estaba tan enfadada que chirrié a mi marido.

I was so cross that I screeched at my husband. Since this unfortunatly means I creaked like a door, I have come up with a new version:

Estaba tan enfadada que empezé a tartamudear

I was so cross I started to stammer. .

Are the tenses ok? - annierats, Oct 14, 2011

The tenses are perfect :) Chirriar is a verb which doesn't fit too much, though. Doors chirrían when they are oxidized, people don't. But.... nevermind, well done :) - cogumela, Oct 14, 2011

Gracias Cogumela. Point taken and total alteration made... - annierats, Oct 14, 2011
