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.
Examples:
1. Una dieta saludable no debe incluir mucha azúcar.
A healthy diet shouldn't include too much sugar.
2. La receta requiere una taza de azúcar en polvo.
The recipe calls for one cup of powdered sugar.
Notes:
As you can see in the first example above, "azúcar" can function as both a masculine or feminine noun. Though it frequently appears with a masculine article, you'll also see it often with feminine adjectives.
