Find an English or Spanish word and then write a sentence in English and Spanish.

"meandro" is a noun, not a verb. So "todos los ríos y arroyos tienen meandros" fits good. Plus: "giros" and "terreno" instead of "vueltas" and "tierra" is more accurate. Good one! - 00483d91, Sep 9, 2013
serpentear - meander :) - ian-hill, Sep 9, 2013
¡Muy buena también! Puedes usar el verbo 'serpentear' en lugar de 'meandro'. - Good one too! You can use the verb "serpentear" instead of "meadro". - 00483d91, Sep 9, 2013

If you use "tiene" (formal) you should stick to it and use "quiere" because "quieres" is not formal. - 00483d91, Sep 9, 2013
@MrSoprano Thank you! Another silly mistake, I need to start triple checking my grammar! :) - AlyssaLTerry, Sep 9, 2013

I would say "Tengo cien dólares así que puedo comprar..". Translations of (so that) depend on the intention of the speaker. Should be just "...dólares para comprar..." when it means 'in order to', - 00483d91, Sep 9, 2013
Thank you, Mr. S. - 0083f5dc, Sep 9, 2013
