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.

Pensó "sólo es un ave, qué tan peligroso podría ser"- pero cuando el ganso siseó y empezó a perseguirlo, supo que sería mejor huir.

He thought "it is only a bird, how dangerous could it be" - but when the goose hissed and began to chase him he knew it would be better to get out of there.

Once Hissing Sid, an evil snake, kept the woodland folk awake. In fear and trembling every night. In case he gave someone a bite. But Hissing Syd is innocent.

Una vez que Syd el Siseando, una serpiente del mal, mantuvo la despiertos arbolado popular. En el miedo y temblando cada noche. En caso de que alguien le dio un mordisco. Pero Syd el Siseando es inocente.

Cuando un gato sisea a tú, lo mejor es dejarlo solo.
