sentence
Significado
condenar, sentenciar, declarar, fallar
En inglés, el verbo "sentence" se utiliza principalmente en contextos legales para referirse al acto de imponer una pena o castigo a alguien que ha sido declarado culpable de un delito. Por ejemplo, un juez puede "sentenciar" a un acusado a varios años de prisión. Este término implica una decisión formal y autoritaria sobre la consecuencia que debe enfrentar la persona condenada.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "sentence" with "sentencing," which refers to the process of determining the punishment.
