Sylyon1976 will correct the Spanish sentences as her time permits. 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.

Quizás es un asunto de edad, pero no entiendo por qué jóvenes necesitan mirar sus móviles constantemente.

Perhaps it's a matter of age, but I don't understand why youngsters need to check their mobile phones constantly.

..."disappears"... - rac1, Mar 21, 2014
I think it is ok amiga - plural things so disappear. :) - ian-hill, Mar 21, 2014
''What will never disappear'' solves the problem neatly. - annierats, Mar 21, 2014
Thanks for your suggestions. So, you all think it is correct to use "are" instead of "is" behind "what will never disappear"? - joygogo, Mar 22, 2014

Every time I count to a hundred million, one by one (1...2...3...4...5... etc. ... 100,000,000), I have always noticed that all the prime numbers (except for 2 and 3) constantly appear right next to numbers that are multiples of 6. Here is an example: ( 29 ... 30 ... 31 ). 30 is a multiple of 6. Both 29 and 31 are prime numbers. Are there no exceptions to this rule?

Cada vez yo cuento a cien millones, uno tras otro (1...2...3...4...5... etc. ... 100,000,000), siempre he notado que todos los números primos (con excepción de 2 y 3) constantemente aparecen justo al lado de los números que son múltiplos de 6. Aquí está un ejemplo: ( 29 ... 30 ... 31 ). 30 es un múltiplo de 6. Ambos 29 y 31 son números primos. ¿No hay excepciones a esta regla?
