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:

1. Hablo español, inglés y ruso también.

I speak Spanish, English, and Russian too.

2. Estáis invitados y tus familias también.

You are invited and your family as well.

Tener un montón de dinero es estar rico, tener muchos amigos es también estar rico ,

pero puede más feliz.

Corrected sentence,- es ser rico, pero mucho más feliz"

Having a lot of money is being rich, having a lot of friends is also being rich,

but can be much happier.

Every person is beautiful. The beauty comes from the inside. But just for fun you can also try to use the mask on your face.

Cada persona es hermosa. La belleza viene del interior. Pero sólo por diversión, ustedes también pueden tratar de usar la máscara en su cara.

El año pasado, hice un afgano de ganchillo para mi nieto. También, le hice un sombrero de ganchillo, que se parece a una rana.

Cuando amamos demasiado fuertemente podemos ser daño pero podemos ser sanado tambíen. Es mejor a tratar de y fallar que no tratando y éxito.

When we love too strongly we can be hurt, but we can be healed as well. It is better to try and fail than not try and succeed.
