Sinmeta and Franco 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.
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. Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game to help with using a new vocabulary word!

Examples:
** 1. La comunidad internacional criticó duramente al dictador por sus violaciones de derechos humanos.**
- The international community strongly criticized the dictator for his human rights violations.*
** 2. Sus padres lo castigaron duramente por haber conducido bajo la influencia de alcohol.**
- His parents punished him harshly for having driven under the influence of alcohol.*
Thanks to everyone that has been helping to correct in the palabra del día. I know it is a time-consuming job and we all are very appreciative of your work and dedication to us and to SD!!
