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. ¡Esta pasta está tan rica que me la voy a comer toda!
This pasta is so good I will eat it all!
2. Si no te vas a comer ese pedazo, yo me lo como.
If you're not going to eat that piece, I'll eat it.

My mother who had fed me her sweet milk
Until I started learning how to eat food
The tender touch of her hands, as soft as silk
She is long gone, leaving her brood.
My father who used to bring me candies and cakes
And boiled sweets that I always loved to eat
My uncle who lived in Chicago on the Great Lakes
They've all vanished behind the curtains of fate.
My cousins and dearest friends have already left
For a place beyond the horizon, exotic and remote
In here, at this ferry, I am standing alone and bereft
In the gloomy twilight, I am still waiting for my boat.
Mi madre que me había dado su leche
Hasta que empecé a aprender a comer
Mi padre que me solía calmar en la noche
Cuando en mi cama, yo lloraba de temer
Mi primo favorito con quien yo solía jugar
Mi tía que me solía comprar muñecas y libros
Casi todos mis amigos con quienes solía bailar
En mi vida, todos se han ido ante mis ojos
Todavía estoy aquí, en este ferry antiguo
Estoy esperando la barca de pasaje
Ahora no es mío este lugar hermoso
Por eso, me voy dejando mi último mensaje.
