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.

1: La previsión para este año se ve muy prometedora.

The forecast for this year looks very promising.

2: No sé cómo tuviste la previsión de anticipar este contratiempo.

I don't know how you had the foresight to anticipate this roadblock.

This is often unfair as they are just as able as other people to plan ahead! Politicians of most parties are often terrible at planning ahead as they usually think short term : what''s in it for us/How can we get the credit for doing this or that??! - FELIZ77, Jan 29, 2016

Claro, pero no son beníficas todas las acciones de la gente. Las que le hacen daño a alguien llamamos "pecado." Las que hacen bien llamamos "virtuosas" La mayoría de las religiones están de acuerdo con esto. - Daniela2041, Jan 29, 2016

If one cannot listen or work hard, then their future is foreseen to fail.

Si uno no puede escuchar o trabajar duro, entonces su futuro está previsto para fallar.

Anoche fui a un concierto al aire libre. Estabamos preocupados porque la previsión del tiempo dijo que habría lluvia, pero de hecho el tiempo fue muy bien y disfrutamos mucho. Después de volver a casa, la lluvia fuerte comenzó.

Last night I went to an outdoor concert. We were worried because the weather forecast said there would be rain, but in fact the weather was very good and we had a great time. After we got home, the heavy rain started.
