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.

Hoy he pasado la mañana instalando Windows 10 en dos de mis computadoras, y creo que habría sido más adecuado si me habían hubieran dicho que había un icono en la parte derecha de la barra de abajo que controla el proceso entero en vez de proporcionar una página larga llena con respuestas a FAQs con vínculos que me llevaron en círculos. Un amigo nos había dicho que el programa este Windows era mejor que el versión 8, pero ahora nos estamos dando cuenta de que nada funciona bien. Quizás se mejora con el tiempo.
Today I have spent the morning installing Windows 10 on two of my computers, and I think it would have been more appropriate if they had told me that there was an icon on the right side of the bar at the bottom that controls the entire process instead of providing me a long page filled with answers to FAQs with links that led me in circles. A friend had told us that the program was better than the version 8, but now we are in the midst of realizing that nothing works well. Maybe it will get better with time.
