Regular regular, normal, average, fair, usual

Post your sentences in Spanish and English, then vote for the ones you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes and language correctness.

These threads are kindly moderated by Heidita. Please correct your posts according to her indications and suggestions smile.

Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:
- Captions with 3 words or less
- Paragraphs with more than 4 lines
- Blatant machine translations and posts which cannot be understood it is read three or four times
- Posts which consist mainly of lyrics or idioms which do not translate.
- Captions copied directly from books or other sources.
- Multiple posts from one person, or those who don't write the sentences in both English and Spanish.
-Remember to use the Word of the Day in a typical Spanish sentence. This is great practice for you and for everyone that reads the thread to see how the Word of the Day could be used in a sentence.
----------
Remember to correct your posts as suggested or they can NOT be "accepted".
Do not use subject pronouns in Spanish. (You'll be sent to the dunce corner!)

My Example:

Nunca debería estar contentarse con ser regular o del montón. Debería luchar por la excelencia o ser superior.

You should never be happy with being average or unexceptional. You should strive for excellence (or to be super….jaja)

Usually they have a regular pulse, but at the moment it is increasing very rapidly.

Para mi un día regular es uno que contenga contratiempos con el subjuntivo en español.

For me a regular day is one that has setbacks with the Spanish subjunctive.
