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.

Era un gran fiesta, y todos se divertían, aunque, sí, quizás hubieran habían tomado un poco demasiado y hacían un poco demasiado ruido, pero cuando oyó las sirenas, supo que debería salir raudamente por la puerta trasera.

It was a great party, and everyone was having fun, even though, yes, perhaps they had drunk a little too much and were making too much noise, but when he heard the sirens, he knew that he should leave quickly through the back door.

"they had drunk" is actually "habían tomado/bebido" in this context. - Oshnaj, Aug 13, 2016
Did they catch him? jeje - rac1, Aug 13, 2016
Gracias, Oshnaj, me había preguntado si el uso de "quizás" permitiría el de "hubieran". :) - bosquederoble, Aug 13, 2016
No, en realidad no por ello se invoca el subjuntivo. En caso de invocarse, ya damos por dado que la acción fue imposible en el pasado. - Oshnaj, Aug 13, 2016
Gracias por la explicación. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 13, 2016

Es mejor rápidamente, por que a menos que seas un abogado, o utilices un lenguaje formal, no la vas a necesitar. Por cierto soy de México - JoseAColin, Aug 13, 2016
Ella salio rápidamente. - JoseAColin, Aug 13, 2016
"raudamente" is actually "de forma rápida pero precipitada." — Puedes salir rápidamente pero eso no implica que sea de forma precipitada. - Oshnaj, Aug 13, 2016
Gracias Ray. :) - rac1, Aug 13, 2016

It appears in the picture that the back wheel is off of the ground, even though it isn't. Optical illusion. :) - rac1, Aug 13, 2016

Wow! I see what you mean. - rac1, Aug 13, 2016
Is that another name for a "quarter horse" ? - ray76, Aug 14, 2016
Not exactly, Ray. A lot of cutting horses are quarter horses, probably the vast majority, but paints, Appaloosas, Arabians, thoroughbreds, and cross-breeds are used too. - AnnRon, Aug 14, 2016
Thanks Ann just checking . I love horses. - ray76, Aug 14, 2016
