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. No te sorprendas si tienes que dibujar un modelo desnudo para tu clase de arte.
Don't be surprised if you have to draw a nude model for your art class.
2. De niño, Ramón siempre dibujaba edificios antiguos; pero ahora, como arquitecto, diseña rascacielos modernos.
As a kid, Ramón always sketched old buildings; but now, as an architect, he designs modern skyscrapers.
Notes:
The 2nd example sentence is part of our special new Word of the Day "novela" series. Check it out from the beginning on December 1 and stay tuned tomorrow for the next chapter!
