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. Mis tíos viven en una granja alejada de la ciudad.
My aunt and uncle live in a farm far from the city.
2. Si piensas que vas a ser una estrella del baloncesto midiendo apenas cinco pies, estás alejado de la realidad.
If you think you're going to be a basketball star being barely five feet tall, you're completely divorced from reality.
Enjoy Sunday

Sometimes I wonder if some day people will travel to the stars and discover distant civilizations- at times I think that if it were possible, we would already have aliens staying on earth, and at times I think that perhaps the aliens are not bothering us so that we can develop ourselves without interference. Of course my wife believes that they already have visited us, but at least she doesn't believe that they have probed her.
