Whenever I am texting and driving, I try to be careful to use proper capitalization and punctuation.

Cuando estoy enviando mensajes de texto y conducir conduciendo, trato de tener cuidado de usar las mayúsculas y la puntuación adecuada.

I've got to believe based on the powerful phone here that you're making a point I totally agree with: texting and driving is so dangerous! - Sassette, Oct 6, 2015
Powerful phone? What a hilarious typo. Of course, I meant "powerful photo." - Sassette, Oct 6, 2015

Be careful what you eat, it can help to keep you healthy, but it can destroy it if you are not careful.

Tener cuidado con lo que comes, puede ayudarte a mantener tu salud, pero puede destruirla si no tienes cuidado.

Even if you are careful, when learning a new language, you are going to make mistakes.

Incluso si usted es eres cuidadoso, cuando aprendes un nuevo idioma, usted va vas a hacer cometer errores.

Es importante tener cuidado con lo que decimos, porque después de que algo se dice, siempre ha sido dicho.

It is important to be careful with what we say, because after something is said, it always has been said.
