Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less exactly as RelaxingCup designed them and H C A student faithfully continued.

  • Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen soon on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language accuracy.

  • Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada mañana, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

  • Please, give everyone a chance and only post one caption and no photos.

  • Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon solo una respuesta, sin fotos.

Please encourage everyone and me with a vote. smile

.Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Él es fantásticamente hábil y tiene un sentido del equilibrio maravilloso, pero creo que cuando se cansa, deposita el colchón y descansa un poco.

He is fantastically skillful and has a wonderful sense of balance, but I think that when he is tired,he deposits the mattress and rests a little.

Porcu, it would sound more natural to say: When he is tired he 'will' ( or is likely to) put down the mattress. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 26, 2015
and rest for a while. - FELIZ77, Apr 26, 2015

I would have had that delivery when I bought my new mattress! I had to wait two weeks for the delivery.

¡Me hubiese gustado tener esa forma de entrega cuando compré mi nuevo colchón! Tuve que esperar dos semanas por la entrega.

:DD May I correct your sentence, Ray76? - Waidh, Apr 26, 2015
El lavabo de la cocina *está* en la moto de atrás. I know it is difficult to see the differences between "ser" and "estar" - Waidh, Apr 26, 2015
We use *es* (ser) when talking about a feature of the character or nature (unchangeable over time) - Waidh, Apr 26, 2015
We use *estar* when taliking about a temporary situation: the kitchen sink is on the bike behind (but not forever, I suppose) :) - Waidh, Apr 26, 2015
Thanks, Ana. Ray is in Australia and he is sleeping now, but he will really appreciate this correction! - sanlee, Apr 26, 2015
Oh, really! That is just in farthest point of the planet related to me, Ray :D - Waidh, Apr 26, 2015

Thank you Ana I do really appreciate your help as Sandy said ,I am awake now whilst you sleepy head are asleep , I am a day ahead of you , it is now Monday 2,30 PM - ray76, Apr 27, 2015
We are not all asleep yet, Ramón, but going soon. - sanlee, Apr 27, 2015
I really was, Sandy! :D It is a pleasure being of help, Ray. :D - Waidh, Apr 27, 2015
Ray, so sorry to insist, but you need to change "en la moto de atrás" or "en la moto que viene detrás" - Waidh, Apr 27, 2015

He doesn't want his dad to find out about his cycling habits....because his father runs (co-ordinates) the police 'Road Safety Campaign for better cycling' in the city! wink

Con correcciones:

No quiere que su papá se entere* de sus malas costumbres* con el ciclismo ...porque su padre coordina 'La campaña de seguridad en la carretera de policía' para mejorar la calidad de ciclismo en la ciudad!

1.o su papá descubra* sus malas etc. ..

2.o malos hábitos* etc...

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile
