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.

"Me pregunto lo que los nativos (aborígenes) de America del Norte pensaron cuando un escultor cambió el paisaje permanentemente."-- Saludos! - 00e46f15, Oct 13, 2013
perhaps mixed feelings, some saw it as a genuine disruption to their land by true foreigners- though some of the more artistically eyed perhaps appreciated it- JD wonderful thought, thank you for sharing - Jon-Dunn, Oct 13, 2013

Mi frase no es correcta porque no es posible estornudar permanentemente.

My phrase is not correct because it is not possible to sneeze permanently.

(Si estornudas mucho es posible que tengas alergias. If you are sneezing permanently you might have an allergy.)

I tried, but I'm not sure if word "permanentemente" can be used in this context. - 00b5f6c6, Oct 13, 2013
I think, that "permanentemente" in this case does not fit well. ---Si estornudas mucho, es posible que tengas alergias. Or: Si estornudas consecutivamente es posible que tengas alergia. These are only suggestions. Saludos! - 00e46f15, Oct 13, 2013
Hi amga...You would have to say, "constantly", or "always", or "forever" something like that in this context. :) - rac1, Oct 13, 2013
Gracias amigas :) Then, this sentence is not good; you can't snezze forever :) - 00b5f6c6, Oct 13, 2013
It's gramatically correct, but sounds odd. I would just say, "If you are constantly, or continually sneezing, you may have an alergy." - rac1, Oct 13, 2013
