New game - C O N

Question

There are many words in English with the prefix “con”.

The idea is to find one and write a sentence using it and translate it into Spanish.

Note that many of the Spanish words also start with “con”

Example.

I’m rather worried, I must confess.

Debo confesar que estoy bastante preocupado.

Easy right?

Fácil ¿no?
