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.

@Annie phototherapy helps, but in advanced cases the bilirubin gets to the brain causing bilirubin encephalopathy (cerebral palsy). Sad. - osas-baby, May 27, 2014

-¡Cuentame! sussoró la monja.

-Es que no tengo pantalones y por eso no tengo ni un centimo porque dejé mi cartera en el hóspital con mis pantalones, le explicó Juan acercandose sigilosamente al asiento al lado de la monja y bajandose la camisa lo más posible

. -No te preocupes, dijo la monja.

-Puedes tomar prestados mis calzonsillos amarillos, que son bastante grandes. Y la monja se pusó de pie y se libró dificultosamente de sus bragas amarillas. Con las bragas puestas Juanitos se sintió mejor, le quedaron de maravilla.

''Tell me about it !'' whispered the nun. '' The problem is that I haven't got any trousers and I haven't got as much as a penny because I left my wallet in the hospital with my trousers, '' explained Juan whilst creeping up into the seat next to the nun and pulling down his shirt as much as possible.

''Don't worry!'' said the nun.'' You can borrow my yellow underpants, they are rather big''. And the nun got to her feet and wriggled out of her yellow underpants with difficulty. Once he had the underpants on, Juanito felt much better, the pants really suited him well.
