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.

Answer 2

Nací en el estado de Pensilvania, pero yo crecí mayor en Ohio.

I was born in the state of Pennsylvania, but I grew up in Ohio.

Hola Findy :) "crecí EN " =I grew up in etc... I think You need to either use the verbal constructions: 'Crecer en' o 'hacerse mayor' I don't think you can mix the two :) - FELIZ77, Apr 15, 2014

Thank you, Feliz! :) - Findy, Apr 15, 2014

Good sentence, Findy I gave you a vote :) You don't really need the personal pronoun Yo because 'crecí en' can only mean I grew up in etc... - FELIZ77, Apr 15, 2014

You're welcome :) - FELIZ77, Apr 15, 2014

... pero crecí en Ohio. -- Gracias feliz77! :D - Hola Findy! - 00e46f15, Apr 15, 2014

I bet you have that famous Minnesota accent too. I love it! - rac1, Apr 15, 2014

I must go someday!!! - Jraider, Apr 15, 2014

We don't have an accent, let alone a famous one...Unless you call people's annoying inability to pronounce anything correctly or annunciate clearly an accent. Well Jraider, if you don't mind people never saying anything clearly, you'll love it :) - Ghosthawk, Apr 15, 2014

Muy bien! Podría ser "pisotear" en lugar de "aplastar". :) - 00e46f15, Apr 15, 2014

Thanks :) I think this is the first time I made only a tiny mistake...and it might not even be a mistake. That's satisfying :) - Ghosthawk, Apr 15, 2014

Muy bien! How beautiful. - 00a50c57, Apr 15, 2014
