My Example:

Esta mañana estaba bebiendo una taza de café caliente. Después, accidentalmente derramé el café y me quemé. Así que mañana en la mañana, voy a presentar una demanda contra Folgers. (Compartiré con todos los miembros de SpanishDict….)


This morning I was drinking a cup of hot coffee. Then I accidentally spilled the coffee and was burnt by the coffee. So tomorrow morning, I am going to file a lawsuit against Folgers. (I will share with everyone from SpanishDict….)

Claim Pictures, Images and Photos

A claim is only as good as the ray gun that backs it up.

Una demanda está solo tan bien como la pistola rayo que lo apoya.

I might need correction, but isn't demands and it's adjectives plural? Are you refering to all that snow scooping you did last winter? And that test you took? :) - bandit51jd, Jun 26, 2011
