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. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. 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. .

Please encourage everyone with a vote. Remember those who arrive late.

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. .

Eran las tres de la mañana cuando Wolfie me despertió por su llanto. El pobrecito quería salir porque tenía el estómago revuelto. Era una noche oscura y me quedé fuera unos momentos para escuchar el sonido mágico de las ranas cantando como si fueran animales encantados. Al fin y al cabo tuve que agradezer a Wolfie porque sin él me hubiera quedado dormida en la cama.
It was three in the morning when Wolfie woke me up with his whimpering. The poor dog wanted to go out because he had an upset tummy. It was a dark night and I stayed outside for some moments, listening to the magic sound of the frogs croaking, as if they were enchanted animals. In the end I had to thank Wolfie because if it had not been for him I would have stayed in bed, fast asleep.
