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. Nuestro perro es el más inteligente de todos.

Our dog is the smartest of all.

2. Un amigo nuestro se mudó a Australia.

A friend of ours moved to Australia.

Answer 1

When we can count on each other, nothing is impossible. Any dream, no matter how unattainable it may seem, could come true if only we help others. This is our motto.

Cuando podemos contar el uno con el otro, nada es imposible. Cualquier sueño, por más inalcanzable que parezca, podría hacerse realidad si sólo tan solo ayudamos a otros los demás. EstoEste es nuestro lema.
