La Palabra Del Dia: "aula"
aula ( ow'-lah )
noun ( classroom )
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. En esta aula pueden estudiar veinte estudiantes.
Twenty students can study in this classroom.
2. Tuve que sentarme en el aula vacía por una hora después de la escuela como castigo.
I had to sit in the empty classroom for an hour after school as a punishment.
Notes:
Although it's a feminine noun, "aula" uses the masculine article "el" in the singular form because it begins with a stressed "a" sound. The plural form is "las aulas."
