My Example:
No creo en cosas que tengan que ver con las fantasmas, sin embargo una vez traté de probarles a mis amigos que los espíritus ocultos eran falsos, y que el taberlo Ouije es un juego. No quiero decir lo que pasó esa noche, pero nunca jugaré con un tablero Ouije otra vez.
I do not believe in things like ghosts, however once I was trying to prove to my friends that hidden spirits are fake, and that the Ouije board is a game. I don’t want to say what happened that night, but I will never play with a Ouije board again.
