My apologies for failing to post this yesterday.

Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

This is a game where we can practice languages and have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain exactly as RelaxingCup designed them.

  • Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language accuracy.

  • Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada mañana, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

  • Please, give everyone a chance and only post one caption and no photos.

  • Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon solo una respuesta, sin fotos.

Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Here is the previous Picture of the Day: The State of our Army

And here is today's picture:

Para que el gato está vivo y muerto hasta que alguien mire dentro de la caja. ¿Cómo puede ser esto?

Entonces .... Hasta que alguién examine/mire dentro de la caja. (Hasta que + an anticipated or hypothetical action must use the subjunctive as the action can't be declared) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 22, 2014

Antes de hablar. ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 22, 2014
My original phrase was ...de hablar - Kiwi -G... I went away from it, because 2 of 3 SD translating engines did Not translate it ...I think before Speaking, but instead as -I think before You speak. . . so I changed it in an effort at clarity . . . - Esteban_317, Jul 23, 2014

Welcome mate, The idea is to think of a simple sentence which the Ape may be thinking , and to write it in both English and Spanish . Try again mate. - ray76, Jul 24, 2014
I might be that Santoshsapkota is stating that all the ape is thinking about is "Monkey... Monkey..." - 00ffada9, Jul 24, 2014
