The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym related to the word – S O F T (adjetivo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word.

Example:

For the first time, scientists have extracted what appears to be soft matter from a dinosaur.

Por primera vez, los científicos han extraído lo que parece ser la materia blanda de un dinosaurio.

Too Close for Comfort

Pictures are a good idea.

This link might help you find some ideas. Scroll down to see synonyms and antonyms

We have no official corrector for this challenge yet.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me.wink

This was the previous challenge.

You would be better advised to drink a little alcohol rather than poison like Coca Cola. I have just helped a friend de grease his Engine radiator using Coca Cola , it is corrosive mate. - ray76, May 10, 2015

If the teacher is too lenient, the children will take advantage of her and misbehave.

Si la maestra es demasiado permisiva, los niños se van a provechar y se van a portar mal.

Good example of using the word in an unusual way. :) - rac1, May 9, 2015
...no fue convertible... :) - Pablo064, May 9, 2015
Por qué no " era "?, ya situación ha cambiada. - porcupine7, May 10, 2015
:) - ian-hill, May 10, 2015
Well because of 'durante muchos años' you can say 'nuestra moneda no 'era' convertible'(without 'durante muchos años') otherwise you have to use 'fue' ;) - Pablo064, May 10, 2015

Is that a subtle way to call someone stupid in English? :) - Pablo064, May 9, 2015
It's not subtle but is less direct than "Idiot!" or "Stupid!" - Jubilado, May 9, 2015
I really can't think of sublte way of calling someone stupid. Well, maybe with sarcasm. Nice job genius! If they are really stupid they won't get it.") - DilKen, May 9, 2015
I couldn't either, Ken, only metaphoric like "soft in the head" or "one brick shy of a load." - Jubilado, May 9, 2015
