Answer your own question by typing "eraser" into the dictionary at the top of this page. I am presuming you are a student, and I am sure that your textbook also has a vocabulary list.

i didn't know if goma would be right, because it meant rubber, but I'll give it a try. Thank you. - menifeegal96, NOV 3, 2009

Yes, it is correct. You can also say "goma de borrar", but "goma" is just as common. - mountaingirl123, NOV 3, 2009

Look up pencil eraser on the site and ask to see if it's right. That's how things fly around here...People don't answer others' homework questions. Post your attempt, and we'll then help you. Trust me on this, I've seen it a lot....

Thanks so much, I'll try that and see if it works - menifeegal96, NOV 3, 2009
