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.

Calle Lombard sinuoso es un hito de San Francisco. Es un hermoso espectáculo para ver, pero no es muy divertido si usted es el conductor.

Winding Lombard Street is a San Francisco landmark. It is a beautiful sight to see, but not very fun if you are the driver.

How can you protect your plants from them? - rac1, Jun 26, 2016
Easy Amber , use a much around the plants of straw , or in my case I use Sugar cane mulch , they cannot crawl over it so plants are protected without killing. - ray76, Jun 27, 2016
