Necesito las dos camas y punto. El perro..¡que duerma en el suelo!. Your sentence was not really incorrect, but the first part sorta sounded weird, less colloquial than the english...and I am having it..wait for further input;) - 00494d19, Apr 9, 2011
I agree with Heidi, and I'd add in the last part a personal pronoun : Yo estoy cómodo así. Excellent, Jen! :) - cogumela, Apr 9, 2011
Very funny Jen:) - FELIZ77, Apr 9, 2011
Thank you Heidi, Cogu and Feliz :) - --Jen--, Apr 9, 2011

Cuando el perro esté fuera, el gato jugará. ( Since the last part is future, there is no possibility for indicative in the first part of the sentence) Well done, jennyo! :) - cogumela, Apr 9, 2011

Cathy, I can't understand this one. Who is supposed to be Víctor? Did you mean "Victoria"? - cogumela, Apr 9, 2011
Cogu I think Cathy means the dog is the victor and his trophy is the cat :) - FELIZ77, Apr 9, 2011
It took me a while to figure this one out too, Cogu :). I think it's like, victory at last, as though the dog has been trying to catch the cat for ages and he has finally caught it and dropped it on his beds :). - --Jen--, Apr 9, 2011
Jen yes that is how I understood it :) - FELIZ77, Apr 9, 2011
The dog was victorious in killing the cat and dropped it on it's bed as a trophy. It was a sick joke. - Echoline, Apr 9, 2011

Why couldn't they just buy me a bed that's long enough?

¿Por qué no me compran una cama que sea lo suficientemente largo?

The smart back cat could roll his body to fit his small bed, but the stupid one could not use his biger bed well. El cama pequeña tiene bastante espacio para el elegante negro gato, mientra la mas grande cama no puede satisfacer el beige estúpido gato.

La cama pequeña ... mientras que la cama más grande no satisface al estúpido gato beige. Well done and welcome to the forum, sarasosa! :) - cogumela, Apr 9, 2011
