Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!**

This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less exactly as RelaxingCup designed them and H C A student continued.

  • 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 soon 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 en un rato, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

  • Please, give everyone a chance and post one or so captions and no photos.

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

Please encourage everyone with a vote. smile

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

Este huevo es grumoso, mas grande de lo normal, poseido de un vellosidad raro, y demasiada propenso a pateando. No conozco si quiero ver qué nacerá, ¿pero qué puedo hacer?

This egg is lumpy, larger than usual, possessed of an unusual hairiness, and too prone to kicking. I don't know if I want to see what will be born, but what can I do?

El pollito: Mamá dice que nos ama por igual, pero desde que lo adoptó, no hay lugar para mí en el nido.

Little chick: Mom says she loves us all the same, but since she adopted him, there's no room for me in the nest.

Mami, mami, ¿por qué no quieres que mi hermanito sepa que es adoptado? . Yo creo que es mejor decirselo cuanto antes.

Mom, mom, why don't you want my brother knows that he is adopted?. I think it's better to tell it him as soon as possible

Si mi esposo no era fuera tan gallito, no lo habría engañado con otro. Pero ese pretendiente resultó ser un perro asqueroso y tuve que romper con él, y ahora no sé lo que voy a hacer cuando mi esposo vea a mi nuevo bebé.

If my husband was not so cocky, I would not have cheated on him with someone else. But that suitor turned out to be a disgusting dog and I had to break up with him, and now I don't know what I am going to do when my husband sees my new baby.

An old story with a new twist. ;>) - AnnRon, Aug 31, 2015
With the gallito/cock and perro puns both working in both languages, I had no choice. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 31, 2015
..si mi esposo no fuera tan gallito..(or si mi esposo no hubiese sido tan gallito)..mmm 'esposo' used twice in such a short time :D the second one is not necessary - Pablo064, Sep 1, 2015
it's perfect anyway!! - Pablo064, Sep 1, 2015
I was worried that ese prendiente would be considered the subject without mi esposo. Fuera is clearly right to match habría, not era. Gracias, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 1, 2015
Yes, hubiera, hubiese sido would also work, but I like the preterit feel of fuera of there, like he still is. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 1, 2015
