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.

Algunos creen que una planta ubicada en el Monasterio de Santa Catalina del Monte Sinaí es la misma zarza ardiente que vio Moisés- y la verdad es que es de una especie que suele tener una larga vida, pero no he evaluado toda la evidencia.

Some think that a plant located in St. Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai is the same burning bush that Moses saw- and the truth is that it is of a species that usually has a long life, but I have not evaluated all the evidence.

Ella conocío al amante ardiente que quería siempre y pensaba que todo estaría bien. Desafortunadamente más tarde descubrió que su hombre estaba ardiente con otras también. ¡Que pena!

She met the ardent lover that she always wanted and she thought that all would be well, Unfortunately later she discovered that her man was ardent with others as well. What a pity!
