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 encanta ver como los gatos duermen tan tranquilamente.

I love seeing how cats sleep so peacefully. Or: 'I love to see cats sleeping so peacefully'.

Hola, amiga. Your English is fine the way it is, but you can make it more of a generalizaton if you say: "I love seeing how cats sleep..." - Jubilado, Nov 17, 2013
Gracias, amigo! ♥ - 00e46f15, Nov 17, 2013
a veces me gustaría ser un gato.....me encanta dormir un poco más porque como un hombre a menudo no puedo - Aranjuez12, Nov 17, 2013
Another alternative would be 'I love to see cats sleeping so peacefully'. - 0095ca4c, Nov 17, 2013
Gracias Margherite! ☺♥ - 00e46f15, Nov 18, 2013

Soy una persona muy tranquilo, pero no me voy a ir tranquilamente.

Me voy a enfurecer ante la muerte contra la agonía de la luz.

I am a very quiet person, but I will not go quietly .

I am going to rage against the dying of the light.

Something I enjoy immensely everywhere in Central and South American cities, is to find a cathedral on the many plazas that surround it, and sit peacefully away from the heat, noise and bustle outside.

Algo que disfruto inmensamente en todas partes de América Central y América del Sur, es encontrar una catedral entre la multitud de plazas que la rodean de alrededor a ellas, y sentarme tranquilamente lejos del calor, el ruido, y del bullicio de afuera.

Stress is a slow killer....I hope that I can let all stress fall off my back and straighten it, but somehow I can't. I need a relaxing bath so that I can face all stress calmly.

El estrés es un asesino lento. Espero que yo pueda dejarme todo estrés de la espalda y enderezarla. Pero de alguna manera no puedo. Necesito un baño relajante así que yo puedo enfrentar todo el estrés tranquilamente.

El estrés es un asesino lento. Espero que todo ese estrés que estoy cargando sobre mi espalda se pueda ir, para así poder enderezarme. Pero por alguna razon, no puedo. Necesito un baño relajante para así poder enfrentarme al estrés tranquilamente.

The rich sounds of the symphony flowed peacefully through the concert hall.

Los sonidos ricos sonoros de la sinfónica fluían tranquilamente por toda la sala de conciertos.

A little more common is to use : Sonoros or intensos instead of ricos, in the case of sounds. "... por toda la sala de conciertos." or " por todo el auditorio". - 00e46f15, Nov 18, 2013
The theater in San Jose is a lovely place to see a concert like this one. - katydew, Nov 18, 2013
Very nice amiga, are you still in Canada, there are lots of storms coming that way? - pmikan-pam, Nov 18, 2013
Thank you Susy. 'sonoros' is a new word for me and the other mistake was just stupid on my part. Muchas gracias. - 0095ca4c, Nov 19, 2013
Hi Pam...yes, I'm still here. The storms have been awful although they've calmed down since leaving the US mid-west. Ifeel so sorry for those people. - 0095ca4c, Nov 19, 2013

Las nubes en el cielo semejaban los rebaños de las ovejas que pastaban tranquilamente en los fértiles pastizales abiertos, bajo la sonrisa del sol.

The clouds in the sky looked like the flocks of sheep that were grazing peacefully in the open, fertile grasslands under the smile of the sun.

si alguien te diera una respuesta que no te guste, no significa que tienes que aceptarlo tranquilamente.

If someone gives you a response that you don't like, it doesn't mean you have to accept it peacefully.
