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. Then the Word of the Day winner will be chosen!
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:

The word Sereno though the definition of the word is correct, the word can also be use to explain a climate.
The reason I say this is because in Nicaragua the word is use to refer the chill of the night. I can't speak for any other country since proper Spanish is Spanish, but the dialect of different countries give different definitions to the words and since Ruben Dario was considered the father of castellano o' what would've been the modern Spanish back in the days then I would presume that the state in which the word is use in the definition of Nicaraguans' referring to the chill of the night would be valid.
A sentence which would validate this definition of Sereno would be- Don't go out side after exercising because the sereno (chill of the night) will give you a cold.
Some Spanish speaking individuals might have heard their mom say something like " No, salgas afuera despues de estar ajitado( ajitado-the state of being right after exercising) porque te vas a refriar por el sereno.
