My Example:

When I was young, and I was living with my parents, my step-brother had a hamster. One day, the hamster escaped, and was loose in the house. We were never able to find that hamster.

Once we bought the shampoo “Wash&Go;". We washed our hair and now we can go, but unfortunately, we can’t have loose hair any more.

Una vez compramos el champú “Wash&Go;". Nos lavamos el cabello y ahora podemos ir, pero desafortunadamente, ya no podemos tener el pelo suelto más.

"To have loose screws" can mean two different things.

"Tener tornillos sueltos" puede significar dos cosas diferentes.

The black one loses color, so it needs to be washed separately . . . . . . . .

Del negrito se quita el color y por eso se necesita lavarlo por suelto . . . . . . .

Seller, you should sell both these pigeons instead of selling them separately.

Vendedor, debería vender ambas palomas en lugar de venderlas sueltas.
