Cordobesa is the official corrector of the Spanish sentences and since 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 Cordobesa's suggestions.

Usa la palabra en una frase en inglés y añade la traducción al español. Intenta usar la palabra de una manera original y vota por las frases que más te gusten. La frase con más votos será coronada la ganadora del juego de la palabra del día.

Las directrices:

  • Escribe solamente frases que tengan, al menos, 5 palabras.
  • No escribas párrafos con 4 frases o más.
  • Haz las correcciones sugeridas por los usuarios y mods.
  • ¡Usa tus propias palabras! (No uses el traductor, ni un libro, ni la letra de una canción.)
  • ¡Disfruta de este juego de inglés!

Note from Cordobesa: If after two or three days you see that a sentence is not checked when the rest are, please don’t hesitate to send me a PM in order to tell me. I always try to go through the threads several times, but sometimes I can accidentally skip some of the sentences. // Nota de Cordobesa: Si después de dos o tres días veis que una frase no está corregida cuando las demás del hilo lo están, por favor, no dudéis en mandarme un PM para decírmelo. Siempre trato de revisar los hilos varias veces, pero a veces, sin querer, puedo saltarme algunas de las frases.


Mi ejemplo:

We should always have hope, but we must also work in order to fulfill our dreams.

Siempre debemos tener esperanza, pero también tenemos que trabajar para cumplir nuestros sueños.

It takes a long time for some dreams to come true, but never give up hope. Who knows if tomorrow will be the day when you get your dream?

Algunos sueños tardan mucho en hacerse realidad, pero no pierdas nunca la esperanza. ¿Quién sabe si mañana será el día en que consigas tu sueño?

I hope that this frog is not pulling my leg by telling me that he will turn into my dream prince as soon as I kiss him.

Espero que esta rana no esté tomandome el pelo al decirme que él se convertirá en mi príncipe de mis sueños tan pronto como le bese.

Many scientists and historians claim to have evidence that Jesus did not even exist, but I still have the hope that he did.

Muchos científicos e historadores afirman que tienen evidencias de que Jesucristo ni siquiera existiera, pero yo mantengo la esperanza de que lo hiciera.

Hope is like sugar in tea, even though there is not a lot of it, it sweetens everything.

Esperanza es como el azucar en el té, aunque no hay mucho de ello, endulza todo.

Losing hope usually means losing that which makes life worth living.

Perder la esperanza por lo general significa perder lo que hace que la vida vale la pena.

No hay esperanza sin deseo, y ningún deseo sin necesidad,

si usted no tiene ninguna necesidad,

no hay necesidad de esperanza.

There is no hope without desire ,

and no desire without a need ,

if you have no need,

there is no need of hope .

Cuando todo parece oscuro y no puedo encontrar el camino, miro a Dios para la esperanza y siempre me la proporciona.

When everything seems dark and I can't find my way, I look to God for hope and He always provides it.

Nunca perdemos la esperanza de estar lindas y delgadas para las vacaciones, y no nos importa que la esperanza sea contra todo prónostico.

We never lose the hope of being pretty and slim for the holidays, we don't care that this hope may be against all odds.
