Person or human vocabulary question

Question

if im saying that an animal has eaten a person which of the following is correct: Ha comido una persona también. Ha comido un ser humano también.

or are none of these correct?

Answer 1

It's difficult to say it without knowing more about the context, but I would say "Se ha comido también a una persona".

"A un ser humano" is correct, but it's less frequent, at least in the spoken language.

Answer 2

El león se ha comido también a un hombre/ una mujer. ( I t seems likely that you may want to specify).

Obvioulsy, the lion is a guess here. - annierats, Mar 8, 2012

Answer 3

I would say both should be alright. But I think I would use the imperfect and not the present perfect.

Comía una persona también.

Although it would be interesting to hear what the native speakers are saying as well .
