Las uñas de una gata son "claws".
They operated on my cat's claws. En general cuando en español dicen "a OI le V el/la/los/las OD" en inglés hay que decir "V OI's OD", y "a OI le V el/la/los/las S" -> "OI's S V". E.g. "A Miguel le roban el coche": "They stole Miguel's car" "Me duele la cabeza": "My head hurts" |

That sentence definitely fails my correctness conditions; it might just be semantics but I think it's ungrammatical.
If your point was that "a OI le (V 3ª persona plural) el/la/los/las OD" can become "OI's OD (V pasivo)" then I accept it. "Miguel's car has been stolen." But you still need a possessive. "My's cat's claws have been operated on" is OK. "My cat had an operation on her claws" also. |

Steal and stole meaning Robar in Spanish well just first one is robar in present and the second one meaning Robar but in past, but for there someone said that robbed meaning robo in English.
Is it correct? Now Where is used that word?
