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.

Todo el mundo quiere saber el futuro. Hay personas que dicen que pueden presentir lo que va a ocurrir. No sé si eso sea verdad, pero a veces he escuchado unas historias que son inexplicables. En todo caso, quizás es mejor no saber el futuro: ¡Puede que sea malo!
Everyone wants to know the future. There are people who say they can foresee what is going to happen. I don't know if that is true, but sometimes I have heard stories that are inexplicable. Anyway, perhaps it is better not to know the future: it might be bad!
