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. Mira la llanta trasera. Pienso que está desinflada.

Look at the back tire. I think it is flat.

2. Los niños están en la parte trasera de la casa.

The kids are at the rear of the house.

It is difficult to drive a car merely looking at the rear view mirror.

Es difícil conducir un coche sólo mirando por el espejo trasero (espejo retrovisor)

Hola Annie. Solamente te recomendaría omitir la coma (,) ya que no es necesaria, en lugar de eso podrías usar comillas ("), así: "El cuarto azul". - -cae-, Jun 13, 2012

Now the back door is safe enough. I just wonder if the house owner will be able to get out as well.

Ahora la puerta trasera es bastante segura. Solamente me pregunto si también dueño de la casa será capaz de salir.

Este caballo se lisió la pierna trasera saltando sobre la valla.

Muy bien, Grace. Tu oración es correcta, pero podrías usar "lastimar" (incluso "herir" o "lesionar") en lugar de "dañar", de la siguiente manera: "se lastimó su pierna". La razón es que estás hablando de un animal. - -cae-, Jun 13, 2012
Gracias, Carlos. :) - GraceM, Jun 13, 2012
¡Dios me libre! ¡Eso es mucho más grave que lastimarse! Ahora pienso que sería mejor traducir "injure" como "lisiar", así: "se lisió la pierna trasera". =S - -cae-, Jun 13, 2012
Sorry for the surprise! I didn't have a picture in mind when I wrote the sentence. :) Poor horse, but it looks like it's managing ok. - GraceM, Jun 13, 2012
Hey Grace, the poor horse. - rac1, Jun 13, 2012

Hi Margherite, saying "en la pared trasera del sanitario" would fix the sentence o tal vez te refieres a "la pared trasera del tanque del inodoro". Remember that "pared" is a femenine word. - -cae-, Jun 13, 2012
