Le duele la cabeza = his/her head aches Mírame a los ojos = look at my eyes Tienes rota la camisa = your shirt is torn A sentence like “le duele su cabeza” sounds artificial. However, probably due to badly translated television movies, you can hear “dame tu mano” instead of “dame la mano” (give me your hand). ^ Spanish ^ | << Lesson 7 | Lesson 8 | Lesson 9 >>
