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.

A short lesson for Spanish speakers. Some of you probably already know this
Tienes razón = "you are right" or "you are correct"
The phrase "you have reason" is almost never used on it's own, but it might be used as part of a longer sentence..."You have reason to doubt me" for example.
"You always have a reason." This is a common phrase is English. It is often used sarcastically in place of "You always have an excuse" (for your behavior/actions)
You always have the reason. This is not used in the same way as "you always have a reason" It might be said as a complement to someone who was really good at explaining things that others might not understand.
Hopefully, even though my explanations to you Spanish speakers are in English, you will be able to understand them. I could probably translate everything into Spanish, but since my Spanish is not very good, it would take me awhile, and I might confuse you more if I got something wrong.

Todo el mundo les ha alabado por sus habilidades físicas. No es sorprendente si otros aspectos de su desarollo han sido descuidado y no saben como portarse bien.
