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.

Answer 10

Es un poco peligroso ir a Costco para hacer las compras mientras tienes hambre con la esperanza de comer de todas la muestras que reparten en los pasillos allí, porque con frecuencia terminas comprando más de lo que pensabas en comprar.

It is a little dangerous to go to Costco to do your shopping while you are hungry with the hope of eating all of the samples that they give out in the aisles there, because often you end up buying more than you were thinking of buying.

,,las compras..comer todas las..I'd omit 'allí' you already have a 'll' in 'pasillos' and sounds like a tongue-twister to pronounce them twice in succesion'..comprando mas de lo que pensabas..(it is not necessary to add 'en comprar' at the end) - Pablo064, Nov 9, 2015
