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.

A deer emerged from behind the bushes and ran down the road. The reason she was running became clear as a coyote ran after her.

Un ciervo emergió por detrás de los arbustos y corrió por el camino. La razón por la que corría se hizo evidente como un coyote corrió tras ella.

En los insectos que sufren la metamorfosis completa la larva se convierte en una pupa, y durante esta etapa se reconstruye el cuerpo entero y luego emerge un adulto muy distinto a la larva. A mí me gusta simplemente poder reconstruir el cartílago en las coyunturas.

In insects that undergo complete metamorphosis the larva is converted into a pupa, and during this stage reconstructs its entire body and then an adult that is very different from the larva emerges. I would like to simply be able to rebuild the cartilage in my joints.
