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.

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.

Ya he firmado un contrato de veinte páginas para tener una cuenta bancaria en España, he firmado un contrato de unas quince páginas pare tener un teléfono fijo con acceso al internet, he firmado un contrato de compraventa de casa, y estoy esperando firmar un contrato de la Endesa para tener una cuenta de luz, porque si no firmo no puedo empadronarme en Vejer, y sin empadronarme no puedo arreglar los papeles de mi coche. De verdad, ahora firmo cualquier papel que me pongan , sin leerlo porque si no firmo , no puedo arreglar nada.
By now I have signed a contract of twenty pages to have a Spanish bank account, I have signed a contract of some 15 pages in order to have a telephone line with internet access, I have signed the contract to buy my house and I'm waiting to sign a contract with the Electricity board, to have a contract with them , because without a utility bill I can't register that I live here, and without registering as an inhabitant, I cannot rectify the papers for my car. Truly, these days I just sign whatever paper is put in front of me, without reading it, because if I don't I will never be able to fix anything.
