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.

Racuno gracias por la palabra del dia. "Porque para mi tu aliento es vital" Un verso de la canción de Tito Rojas (No Puedo Prescindir de Ti). Habla de lo que uno haria por su compañero o compañera y lo inútil que seria la vida sin este(a).

Thank you Racuno for the word of the day. This one is found in a verse of a song by Tito Rojas (No Puedo Prescindir de Ti) and it says, Because for me your breath is vital. The song describes what one does for his or her partner and how useless life would be without him or her.

For Valentines Day I recommend this song to all you dudes. It's romantic and energetic. You'll thank me I promise. smile

¡QUE VIVA LA SALSA!

Enjoy!!

Annie, just click on "Categories" on the Q&A page and scroll to the bottom. :) - rac1, Feb 8, 2016
Annie, click in the address bar and replace everything after the first slash with the word "reference." Go where that takes you and scroll down until you see "Learning Resources"; click on that and the volume of buried material will blow your mind. - AnnRon, Feb 8, 2016
True AnnRon. :) - ian-hill, Feb 8, 2016

Debido a que el coche de mi esposa todavía está en el lugar donde hicimos la boda, nos recordamos de qué tan vital es tener un coche es en la mayoría de las partes los lugares de los Estados Unidos, las los que no tienen sistemas bien desarrollados de transporte público. Ojalá sea fácil de arreglar.

Because my wife's car is still at the place where we had the wedding, we are reminded of how very vital it is to have a car in most parts of the United States, which don't have well developed public transportation systems. Hopefully it is easy to fix.

Did your daughter get married Bos? - Nickelbackfan1, Feb 8, 2016
The wedding was Saturday night, in a winery way out in the country. :) - bosquederoble, Feb 8, 2016
MM, you drank so much you had to take taxi back and now you can't remebe where the car is? It can happen to anyone, don't worry! - annierats, Feb 8, 2016
No, our designated driver took it into a sunken area, used the four wheel drive to get it out, and now the transmission does not work. We have to have it towed a long way. :( - bosquederoble, Feb 8, 2016

Congrats Bos surprised this is the first I have heard of this. - Nickelbackfan1, Feb 8, 2016
