La Palabra del Día: Decidido
DO NOT use the translator!! ¡No usar el traductor!
Work must be done by yourself.
This thread is about YOUR ability not the ability of the translator.
Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:
Captions with 3 words or less
Paragraphs with more than 4 lines
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!)
Please refrain from overloading with graphic content (ie; bold smileys, etc). It makes it harder for the correctors to be able to read your posts
