.

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.
.

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.

Answer 1

Tengo que llenar este formulario para obtener mi beca a la Universidad de California.

I have to fill out this form to get my scholarship to the University of California.

I hate those forms, one letter in each little square. - jim5489, Apr 30, 2015

Felicidades, Daniela! - LuisCache, Apr 30, 2015

Buena suerte! - Jraider, Apr 30, 2015

But you have to do a lot more than fill out a form to get a scholarship. n'est-ce pas? - Jubilado, Apr 30, 2015

¡Siempre hay más formularios! - katydew, Apr 30, 2015

Answer 2

Sometimes I am so full I can't eat any more, especially on birthdays.

Algunas veces me siento demasiado lleno para poder comer más, especialmente en los cumpleaños.

....."especially on birthdays."..... Hola cru. :) - rac1, Apr 30, 2015

Hola Rac, ¡Gracias! :) - crucesignatus, Apr 30, 2015

Nice Cruce. It would be more common English to leave the "to be able to"out. It would still mean the same thing. Sometimes I feel too full to eat more. To be able to is correct English, but it is rarely used in common everyday discussion. - DilKen, Apr 30, 2015

Instead of "to be able to" we would rephrase using "can't" Sometimes I am so full I can't eat any more - DilKen, Apr 30, 2015

By the way, it would sound strange to use "too" instead of "so" in the above sentence. - DilKen, Apr 30, 2015

What a cake! Yikes :-))!!!! - Jraider, Apr 30, 2015

@Jraider, en verdad es un pastel demasiado grande, lol, :) - crucesignatus, Apr 30, 2015

@Ken, gracias por las correcciones compañero. :) - crucesignatus, Apr 30, 2015

Thumbs up for your attitude about learning :) - Raja-jani, Apr 30, 2015

Gracias Rajaji. :) - crucesignatus, Apr 30, 2015

In this case, having your cake and eating it too would be torture! hahaha. - katydew, Apr 30, 2015

Answer 3

Cuando hace calor, sólo se necesita una hora para llenar el balde de mi deshumidificador.

When it is hot, it only takes one hour to fill the bucket of my dehumidifier.

That humidity is a killer. It's very humid here. - rac1, Apr 30, 2015

I've been to the Big Easy when it was impossible to dry off :-(! - Jraider, Apr 30, 2015

I voted but I couldn't think of anything intelligent to say. - Daniela2041, Apr 30, 2015

ditto Dani - Sassette, Apr 30, 2015

She is a poor man's daughter,

But She'll fill your life with laughter,
