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. Uno de los jugadores del otro equipo me dio una patada y me hirió el tobillo.
One of the other team's players gave me a kick and hurt my ankle.
2. Debes recordar que las palabras pueden herir profundamente.

Han cumplido realizado muchas investigaciones sobre la genética de los que disfrutan de situaciones en las que se arriesgan a herirse- me parece que ni mi esposa ni yo tenemos esos genes-ninguno de nosotros saltaría de un avión que funcione bien, ni de un acantilado ni de un puente incluso si tuviéramos una cuerda.
