Caefuego is the official corrector of the Spanish sentences. There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Please correct your posts according to Caefuego's suggestions.

Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The sentence with the most votes will be crowned the Word of the Day winner!

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

Examples:

1. Entreguen sus exámenes al final de la clase, por favor.

Please turn in your exams at the end of class.

2. Afortunadamente entregan los pedidos en el día.

Thankfully they offer same-day delivery.

Una vez nada más se entrega el alma con la dulce y total renunciación. Only once and no more comes the soul with the sweet and full renunciation. a line from the Nat King Cole song "Solamente una vez" from his album "30 grandes exítos en español" It's a great album google it if you are interested.
