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.

Physical exercise will get your heart beating. Without it, you'll end up a lazy couch potato.

Ejercicio físico tendrá su corazón latiendo. Sin él, terminarás un teleadicto perezoso.

Justo antes de que comienza la carrera los corazones de los jinetes laten muy fuerte, y los de los caballos laten de golpe, porque a todos les sobran la adrenalina .

Just before the start of the race the jockeys' hearts beat hard and the hearts of the horses are hammering away, because all of them have too much adrenalin in the system.

Great post! I too love horse racing. Who you got to win, JR? - rac1, May 2, 2014
My favorite part of a race horse is it's name, for example: California Chrome. - jrschenk, May 2, 2014
I used to ride as an amateur, and, going down to the paddock was the most nervous moment, just before the start a sort of calm would descend. - annierats, May 2, 2014
I didn't know you rode, Annie. That's very interesting and exciting. - rac1, May 2, 2014
@ rac1... It looks like California Chrome!!!! - Jraider, May 2, 2014

When they were young and in love ,they enjoyed simply listening to their heartbeats. But after many years they want new cars and expensive holidays.
