Sylyon1976 is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to her 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.
Examples:
1. Están promoviendo la nueva película de superhéroe con una costosa campaña publicitaria.
They're promoting the new superhero movie with an expensive advertising campaign.
2. El presidente viajó por todo el país y promovió su nueva agenda económica.
The president toured the country and promoted his new economic agenda.

Promover in Spanish has different meanings: to advertise, to initiate something (to promote a reform), to "promote/ascend" somebody in a better position/job.
But from English to Spanish, sometimes the translation might be different. For example, promote also means fomentar, alentar, impulsar, causar...
So, I recommend that you first write your sentence in Spanish, and then translate it in English.
You could use "promote" in English, but then it will not be "promover" in Spanish if the sentence does not apply for "promover".
I hope you can understand my English!
