Expressing Feelings, Opinions and Physical State. Part 4: Pensar ~ To Think

Question

Pensar: (irregular verb) to think; also used to express opinions, state intentions

Could it be that we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and nearly finished with this 5-part game of feelings? Ray started the discussion here, with his examples below:

Pienso... I feel/think...

• Pienso como tú. I think like you.

• Tu piensas tal y como tu hermano. You feel about this like your brother.

Write a short sentence in English and Spanish, expressing what you think, using pensar. Don't forget to vote up the person before you. Many thanks to Spanish speakers who can assist with corrections.
