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.
Examples:
1. ¿Has visto los reportajes sobre la tormenta de nieve en Nueva York?
Have you seen the reports about the blizzard in New York?
2. Estoy leyendo un libro acerca de la vida de Alexander Hamilton, uno de los más importantes padres fundadores de los Estados Unidos.
I'm reading a book about the life of Alexander Hamilton, one of the most important founding fathers of the United States.
Notes:
1.You can use "sobre" instead of "acerca de" if you want to say "about"; just don't use "acerca" to talk about something being on top of something else!
