✕Common Mistakes

Revisar los plazos para tu reclamación.
The infinitive ‘revisar’ is not a command; use the imperative ‘Revisa’ when telling someone to do it.
Los plazos para tu reclamación revisa.
Spanish normally places the verb before the object in an imperative; the reversed order sounds awkward.

↔Alternatives

Asegúrate de conocer los plazos para reclamar.
Make sure you know the deadlines for filing a claim.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries, the word ‘reclamación’ is used in consumer‑rights, insurance, and labor contexts. Formal written communications often prefer ‘verifique’ or ‘compruebe’, but ‘revisa’ is perfectly natural in spoken advice or informal emails. Always double‑check the specific sector’s regulations, as deadlines can differ dramatically between, for example, banking and telecommunications.
