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.

Susy, Susy ! Golf courses are beautiful places, and there is some exercise involved. As the old saying goes...The best way to ruin a nice walk is to play golf :)))!!!! - Jraider, Oct 24, 2013
That is the key word "SOME" exercise involved. So, it should not be considered as a sport! Pero, a tí te perdono todo. Tu puedes jugar golf, si te doy permiso! :)))))) - 00e46f15, Oct 24, 2013

Si alguien se despierta tarde y además está atorado en el tráfico, debería demostrar lo ágil que es y volar como un pájaro para llegar a tiempo a su trabajo.

If one wakes up late and gets stuck in traffic as well, he should prove himself very agile and fly like a bird to arrive at work on time.
