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 se sabe qué pasará en el futuro, sólo se puede vivir en el presente.
You don't know what will happen in the future, you can only live in the present.
2. Claudia y Ramón, felices porque finalmente aceptaron su amor, fueron interrumpidos por Eduardo, quien salió de la sombra para declararle su amor a Claudia. ¿Tendrán un futuro, Ramón y Claudia? ¿O será que ella escogerá a su ex-marido Eduardo?
