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.

Cada vez que mi esposa está fuera durante unos días, pienso en cómo me saludará dulcemente con abrazos y besos cuando llegue, pero luego, cuando regresa y me reprende por todo lo que no hice mientras ella estaba fuera, me doy cuenta de que sólo era un sueño.

Every time that my wife is away for a few days, I think about how she will greet me sweetly with hugs and kisses when she arrives, but then, when she does return and chides me for everything that I didn't do while she was away, I realize that it only was a dream.

I do this to my husband as well,, I mean to hug him, but then I see has forgotten to wash up and the hug evaporates into thin air. - annierats, Apr 4, 2016
Oh yes she can be that bad, LOL. Better get the hug and kiss before she gets in the house, or it will be hopeless, even if you spent every minute she was gone cleaning and working on the chores. - Cam13, Apr 4, 2016

Me acordé de esta canción:

Esta noche eres completamente mío

Me das tan dulcemente tu amor

Esta noche el amor brilla en tus ojos

Pero, ¿todavía me amarás mañana?

I remembered this song:

Tonight you're mine completely

you give your love so sweetly

tonight the light of love is in your eyes

but will you love me tomorrow?
