Welcome to La Palabra Del Día

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.

Aprender saber--is a little awkward. Your English just uses "know" so I recommend "saber" - Daniela2041, Aug 25, 2016

Sé que muchas personas en un montón de profesiones trabajan muy duro, pero libra por libra Es difícil encontrar a alguien que es más incansable que una enfermera. Por supuesto, el sexista en mí deseos que todavía llevaban los sombreros bonitos.

I know that lots of people in lots of professions work very hard, but pound for pound it's hard to find anyone that is more tireless than a nurse. Of course, the sexist in me wishes they still wore the pretty hats.

Nurses

Mi perrito siempre me está madrugando cada día para jugar con sus amigos. Si estuvierais tan incansable como él, nunca podríais dormir.

My dog is always waking me up early to play with his friends. If you were as relentless as he is (and it's likely that you aren't), you could never sleep.

El perrito más guapo.

http://users.ipfw.edu/jehle/courses/condic.htm IV Reminders/tips A. The present subjunctive is NOT used after si (“if”)! I think you need past subjunctive. I would not have used present progressive in your sentence either, but I am just a learner. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 24, 2016
I of course meant in the Spanish, we misuse present progressive like that in English not infrequently. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 24, 2016
