Cuando yo dejo caer este vaso, se rompe. I can break this glass if I drop it. Puedo romper este vaso si dejo caerlo. The food (becomes) spoils when it is not put in the fridge. La comida se estropea cuando no introduce el refrigerador. I can spoil the food if I don't put it in the fridge. Puedo estropear la comida si no la introduzco el refrigerador. The plant (becomes) is dead because the soil is waterlogged. La planta se muere porque la tierra está anedgado. como se dice se overwatered? Sobre regado? Plants die from overwatering. Plants mueren de sobre regadando. |

I can't answer all your questions, but here are a few options. Wait for a native speaker opinion as well.
Puedo romper este vaso si dejo caerlo. In this case, the pronoun needs to come before the conjugated verbs. I would use echarse a perder in place of estropearse for to spoil. "La comida se echa a perder cuando no se guarda en el refri". Introducir needs to be followed by the preposition en. anedgado te sobra una "d".

It's not kept in the fridge. We don't keep it in the fridge Sounds more impersonal to me, we do it... I may be wrong, just two-centing |
