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:

2. Me ha picado un zancudo en la parte posterior de la rodilla. ¡Qué fastidio!

(I only write this because my natural instinct would have been that posterior would allow me to think it might refer to something on the far side of a point on a timeline rather than the close side, but maybe it’s just me. Obviously the difficulty on my part is only in the Spanish version. Posterior just seems like it would be on the more distant side to me (behind it so to speak), since we don't use it that way in English.)
