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.

Normally if a woman hasn't given birth one to two weeks after the due date, her doctor will induce labor.

2. Nunca me imaginé hace tantos años que encontrar la cartera que se le había perdido a Sara induciría nuestro matrimonio.

I never imagined all those years ago that finding the purse Sara lost would lead to our marriage.

I do not think anything would induce him to stop playing with the football ball. No creo que algo le induzca a él dejar de jugar con el balón de fútbol.

The aspiring lover invited the goddess to dance and did his best hoping to induce her to a fiery relationship, but in vain. She gave him a bored smile and kept looking elsewhere during the whole night.

Señor Steve Allen lo dijo bueno,

"Sin la risa, la vida en nuestro planeta sería intolerable. Tan importante es la risa [a nos] que las sociedades altamente recomensan a aquellos que se ganan la vida induciendo la risa en otros."

A los mujeres no les dicen los médicos que los partos inducidos son más largos y dolorosos antes de que provoquen el parto . Dejan a las mujeres darse cuenta del hecho.

The doctors don't tell women that induced labours are longer and more painful before inducing the birth. They leave the women to find this fact out.
