Let´s write sentences with over
I have seen the word "over" is very useful in English because it may be constructed lots of phrases. In Spanish its translations are so different depending on each context, so I have come up with the idea of making a thread about writing sentences by using the word "over". These are the rules for this thread:
1.- Please, write your sentence both in English and Spanish, don´t be afraid of making mistakes, there are many people who might give you good suggestions.
2.- No matter if "over" is alone or joined to another word, forming a single word (i.e: over-active, overwhelming, overall, etc). The most important is to use it in your sentence.
3.- You can post more than once, the times you want.
I will correct the Spanish sentences, but I appreciate all suggestions.
My example:
It is unknown how many neurons a baby´s brain exactly has at birth, but it is estimated that it consists of over 100 billion neurons.
Se desconoce la cantidad exacta de neuronas que tiene el cerebro de un bebé al nacer, pero se estima que está constituido por más de 100 billones de neuronas.
