Saratoga will be helping out with 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 Saratoga'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. Como dice la incomparable Celia Cruz: "No hay que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval, es más bello vivir cantando."
As the incomparable Celia Cruz says: "There's no need to cry, life is a carnaval, it's more beautiful to live singing."
2. "La vida es sueño" de Calderón de la Barca es una de las obras de teatro más importantes de la literatura española.
