We are looking for an official corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM.
Estamos buscando un corrector oficial de las frases en español. Si usted está interesado, por favor envíeme un PM.
Sinmeta will be correcting the Spanish sentences as his time permits. We still need more help with this very important task. Please correct your sentences 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. El pan, en sus diferentes formas, es un alimento básico a nivel mundial.
Bread, in its different forms, is a basic food on a global level.
2. Las personas que son alérgicas al gluten no pueden comer pan.
People who are allergic to gluten cannot eat bread.
Until we have an official Spanish corrector, please help with any suggestions to the Spanish sentences as you are able. It is very much appreciated. Thank you all for being here at SD and for participating in La Palabra Del Dia!

El pan siempre ha estado presente en la mesa de cada comida, a través de las distintas culturas y de los tiempos. En algunos casos, como en las familias más humildes, el pan fue tomado como alimento base y en las familias más pudientes el pan cumplía el rol de acompañar la comida. Hoy en día el pan es un alimento infaltable en las mesas. Hay variedades de pan, pero lo común que tienen todas estas variedades es que están hechas a base de trigo, el cual es rica en una proteína denominada gluten, que confiere a la harina la característica de poder ser panificable. La harina de trigo es buena fuente de vitaminas del grupo B y de elementos minerales (sodio, potasio, magnesio).
Bread has always been present in every table of food/meal, through different cultures and times. In some cases, as in the poorest households/families, bread was taken as basic food and in the richest/(wealthiest) families bread fulfilled the role of accompanying the meal. Today bread is an inevitable food on the tables. There are varieties of bread, but the common thing that all these varieties have is that they are made based on wheat, which is rich in a protein called gluten, which gives the characteristic to be bread flour. Wheat flour is a good source of vitamins of the Group B and mineral elements (sodium, potassium, magnesium).
