To Abuse One's Power

Question

How would I say, "Some politicians abuse their power."

Would it be "Algunos politicos abusan (su o de?) poder"??

Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

Yes it's 'abusar de' and you could use poder or autoridad

      *eg:  algunos políticos abusan de su poder*

Answer 2

Gracias para la respuesta rápida

Pienso que tengo muchas preguntas anoche porque estoy escribiendo un ensayo final para la clase de español tres.

oh and by the way - thank you for uses 'por' instead of 'para' - just one of those tricky little ones :) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 12, 2010
