I would like to have my students label one of the sections in their binder as "returns" - as in papers I have returned to them. Or I guess we could also say "returned items".
What would be the proper term for them to write? Thank you!

That would be true if you used "cosas" ore were specifically referring to things. But if you're just talking about generic items - papers, tests, quizes, etc - I think you might just stick with devuelto. Just a thought. - Jeremias, Jan 23, 2012

Well, the Spanish word for "to return" in the sense is generally devolver, to return an item. So, perhaps they could label their binders
"Devuelto" - Returned.
