RafaelNoiret 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.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game to help with using a new vocabulary word! Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

El pasado fin de semana tuvimos una fiesta de globos aerostáticos aquí, en Tiverton, y fue un espectáculo bello, a ver 17 de estos globos magnifícos subiendo sobre el pueblo hasta que nos les perdieron a vista en el cielo celeste al anochecer. Ya se han ido a los pastos celestiales.

Last weekend we had a hot air balloon festival here in Tiverton. It was a beautiful sight to see 17 of these magnificent baloons rising above the town until they went out of sight in the celestial blue of the evening sky. They have gone to the heavenly pastures now.
