Georgeir (George) is the official corrector of the Spanish sentences. Please correct your entries according to his suggestions. 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.

La actual existencia de los monotremas (el ornitorrinco y los hormigueros espinosos o equidnas) ayuda a los biólogos a entender la historia de los mamíferos, y por eso saben que el pelaje (y cabe suponer la endotermia) y las glándulas mamarias se desarrollaron antes de la viviparidad.

The current existence of the monotremes (the duck-billed anteater and the spiny anteaters or echidnas) helps biologists to understand the history of mammals, and therefore they know that fur (and presumably endothermy) and mammary glands were developed before vivipary.

La sociedad moderna quiere un desarrollo sostenible de todo, esto significa un desarrollo económico con más trabjao cada año, más ventas de bienes, mejor educación para todos , menos destrucción de la naturaleza, mejor tratamientos para todas las enfermedades y mejores hogares para los ancianos son algunos de los desarrollos deseados. Pero no hay nadie que sepa quién pagará por todo esto.

Modern society wants sustainable development of absolutely everything. This implies economic development with more work every year, more sales of goods, better education for all , less destruction of nature, better treatments for all ills and better homes for old people as some of the desired proposals.

But nobody knows who will pay for all this wonderful development.
