Estamos buscando un corrector oficial de las frases en español para este hilo, así que si estás interesado, por favor envia un MP a rac1 o a mí.
Mientras tanto, maestroantonio se ha ofrecido amablemente a ayudarnos. Modifica tus frases según sus sugerencias, ¡por favor!
Hay muchos hablantes nativos de inglés aquí, entonces la mayoría de ellos puede ofrecer sugerencias a las frases en inglés. Voy a ayudar tanto como pueda, por supuesto.

Aquí están las directrices del juego:

• Usa la palabra en una frase en inglés y añade la traducción al español. Intenta usar la palabra de una manera original.
• Vota por las frases que más te gusten.
• Escribe solamente frases que tengan, al menos, 5 palabras, pero no escribas párrafos con 4 frases o más
• Haz las correcciones sugeridas por el corrector official.
• ¡Usa tus propias palabras! (No uses el traductor, ni un libro, ni la letra de una canción.)
• Por favor, verifica tu oración al menos una vez más antes de enviarla y corrige los errores innecesarios; eso aligería considerablemente el trabajo de nuestro corrector.
• Respeta las reglas de SpanishDict.
• ¡Disfruta el juego y mantén siempre en mente que todos nosotros estamos aquí para aprender!

We are looking for an official corrector of the Spanish sentences for this thread, so if you are interested, please send a PM to either rac1 or me.
In the meantime maestroantonio has kindly offered to help us out. Please edit your sentences according to his suggestions!
As there are lots of native English speakers here, most of them can offer suggestions to the English sentences. I shall try to help as much as I can too, of course.

Here are the rules of the game:

• Use the word in an English sentence and add the Spanish translation of that sentence. Try to use the word in an original way.
• Vote for the sentences that you like most.
• Write sentences of at least 5 words, but don't write paragraphs of 4 sentences or more.
• Correct your sentences according to the suggestions of the corrector.
• Use your own words (and don't use a translator, a book, lyrics of a song, ...)
• Please, check your sentence at least one more time before sending it and correct your unnecessary errors; this would enlighten the task of our corrector considerably.
• Respect the rules of SpanishDict.
• Enjoy the game and always keep in mind that all of us are here to learn.
