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.

Not sure about ser/estar question and also wondering if I should have used exigente? - katydew, Nov 9, 2013
me gusta saberlo también. No tengo ni idea pero me parece correcto. Tenemos que esperar :-) - Aranjuez12, Nov 9, 2013
I'm not certain either, but I think ser seems right - it's not location or emotion, or something transient. - jennysk, Nov 9, 2013
I can see why. :) - rac1, Nov 9, 2013
Hola katy! - Jraider, Nov 9, 2013
Maybe should be preterite not imperfect? - mstivers, Nov 9, 2013
Hola Katy! "La escalada fue fisicamente desafiante." Que bonita foto! - 00e46f15, Nov 9, 2013
I agree, Mstivers, it is the preterite and "ser" or "fue" because it is a single, completed event. I'm not sure about "exigente", either. - bandit51jd, Nov 9, 2013
Thanks everyone for the discussion. Thanks Suzy for always helping with corrections. I appreciate it so much. Especially with ser & estar! - katydew, Nov 10, 2013

Ser capaz físicamente lograr todas sus metas, no es tan importante cuando seas mayor.

Crear pensamientos nuevas y emocionantes para la mente que es el reto;

La erradicación del aburrimiento es uno de los objectivos --La mentefísica.

--

Más mejor Entre más años tienes,ser capaz de lograr tus metas

físicamente no es tan importante como antes.

El reto es crear pensamientos nuevos y emocionantes para la mente

La erradicación del aburrimiento es una de las metas.

Being able to physically accomplish all of your goals , is not as important as you get older.

Creating exciting and new thoughts for the mind is the challenge;

The eradication of boredom is one of the goals.
