sucesivamente ( soo-seh-see-vah-mehn'-the )

adverb ( successively, in succession )

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.

After finishing in ninth three times consecutively, my results finally improved, although only by a little -- I managed seventh place. (after starting in 25th). At least I hit the 4th best laptime of everyone there.

"dove" How are you? - rac1, Oct 9, 2013
Thank you, Rac, I'm fine. I thought that both forms dived/dove are possible, but as I understand "dove" is more common. Right? Have a nice day, mi amiga.:) - migelis, Oct 9, 2013
Hi Migelis...that looks like so much fun. I would like to join them right about now. :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 9, 2013
