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. La tierra en esta zona del país es muy fértil.
The earth (soil) in this part of the country is very fertile.
2. Colón y su tripulación zarparon de las Islas Canarias en Septiembre de 1492 y no volvieron a ver tierra por cinco semanas más.
Columbus and his crew set sail from the Canary Islands in September of 1492 and did not see land again for another five weeks.
Enjoy Your Weekend!
