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. Note: Please try to help out with the Spanish sentences until I get someone to be our corrector. Thank you for your patience. If you are interested, please send me a PM. 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.

Guidlines.

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.

Ejemplos.

    1. ?¡Esa canción me encanta! ¿Quién la canta?

I love that song who sings it?

  1. 2:?La banda no cantó mi canción favorita cuando los vi en concierto.

The band didn't play my favorite song when I saw them in concert .

"Siempre cantamos las canciones para no llorar. No todo es perfecto, pero hay que hacer todo lo posible. Y cuando ya no puedas hacer nada.... debes seguir", dije un pobre chico a su amiga.

"We always sing songs so that we did not cry. Not everything is perfect. But it is necessary to do everything what is possible. And when you can not do anything more....you have to continue", said one poor boy to her friend.

Para quien lo sabe amar, el mundo se quita su careta de vastedad, y se pone tan pequeño como una dulce canción, como un beso de lo eterno.

To those who know how to love it, the world puts off its mask of vastness, and it becomes so small as a sweet song, as a kiss of the eternal (R.Tagore).

Aunque quiero que sea la canción favorita tuya, aún me quedo sola, como el tono de la sola cuerda. / Though I wanna be known as your favorite song, yet I'm alone, as the tone of the lone string.

Los tres mejores amigos se divertieron mucho cantando canciones juntos. Cada uno de ellos trató de cantar en voz más alta que los otros.

The three best friends enjoyed themselves enormously singing songs together. Each of them tried to sing louder than the others.

A love song can be a sad song too.

Una canción de amor puede ser una canción triste también.
