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. .

En el pasado, se agruparon los artrópodos con los anélidos debido a que los dos tienen segmentación, aunque siempre me ha parecido que la segmentación parcial del primer grupo no es semejante a la segmentación completa del segundo, pero hoy en día se agrupan los artrópodos con los gusanos redondos como animales que crecen mediante una serie de mudas de cutícula o caparazón (un proceso que incluye la metamorfosis que ocurre en algunos insectos).
In the past, arthropods were grouped with annelids because the two have segmentation, even though it has always seemed to me that the partial segmentation of the first group is not similar to the complete segmentation of the second, but nowadays the arthropods are grouped with the round worms as animals that grow by means of a series of molts of their cuticle or shell (a process that includes the metamorphosis that occurs in some insects).
