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. Nadie quiere ir al trabajo los lunes. Aun así, hay que ir y ganarse la vida.
No one wants to go to work on Mondays. Even so, you have to go and make a living.
2.A los dos hombres los mandaron a la cárcel injustamente, aun sin haber hecho nada.
They sent both men to jail unjustly, even though they hadn't done anything.
Feliz Martes

Diferencia entre "Aún" y "Aun"
Primero, hay que decir que ambos son adverbios.
- Aún (con acento) significa "todavía" (still).
El ejemplo que escribí yo en mi publicación:
"Aún recuerdo ese día, aunque trato de olvidarlo."
"I still remember that day, even though I try to forget it."
- Aun (sin acento) significa "hasta" (even).
Ejemplo:
Daría todo por ver a mi hijo sano, aun mi vida.
I would give anything to see my son healthy, even my own life.
Espero que me haya explicado bien.
Aún recuerdo ese día, aunque trato de olvidarlo.
I still remember that day, even though I try to forget it.
