Answer 1

1. sentido (m) (faculty) •to come to one's senses -> recobrar el conocimiento or sentido; (recover consciousness) entrar en razón (see reason)

Se recobró el sentido??

Entró en razón?

Answer 2

There are actually two ways to understand this question, certainly in English:

(Se puede decir en varios contextos)

---

• He doesn't want to listen to reason at the moment, but he will comes to his senses.

• He is drunk to the point of unconsciousness, but when he comes to his senses, some water and an aspirin should help.

---

So the first one should take SpanishPal's comment: to come to one's senses = entrar en razón....

The second example then would be something like: espabilarse =o= despejarse

---

See what others think!

Answer 3

Entró en razón?

Good job Pal

Se dio cuenta: he noticed

Tomó conciencia de que: he became aware of..
