Have you seen that sheet of paper I was making notes on? Apúntalo en este papel Write it down on this piece of paper ► Si nos referimos a varias hojas o trozos de papel en blanco utilizamos sheets o pieces: Necesitamos varios papeles We need several pieces of paper ► Si nos referimos a papeles que ya están escritos, se pueden traducir por papers: Tengo que ordenar todos estos papeles I must sort out all these papers Para otros usos y ejemplos ver la entrada
