Francobollo is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to his suggestions. 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. 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. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
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. Mis papás vinieron conmigo para recoger mi carro nuevo.
My parents came with me to pick up my new car.
2. No quiero llevar mi pasaporte porque tengo miedo que se me pierda.
I don't want to bring my passport because I am afraid I will lose it.

Así reza la frase tan conocida que se funda en la muerte del rey inglés Ricardo III, a la temprana edad de 32 años, derrotado en la batalla de Bosworth, el 22 de Agosto de 1485, e inmortalizada por el célebre Shakespeare.
A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!
Alternately pathetic and arrogant, the hunchbacked villain-king Richard III is about to meet his doom at the hands of the future Henry VII. Richard's most memorable line is actually supposed to sound halfway valiant—he refuses to forsake the fray although his horse has bit the dust. One of Shakespeare's best known lines, this quotation is sometimes now repeated ironically when someone is is need of some unimportant item.
