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.

Un hincha de los Cachorros de Chicago hehizaba a los Cub porque no se permitió tomar su cabra en Wrigley Field para un Series Mundial partido en 1945. Dijiste que los Cubs nunca ganaría la Serie Mundial otra vez.

A Cubs fan cast a spell on the Cubs because he was not allowed to take his goat into Wrigley Field for a World Series game in 1945. He said that the Cubs never would win the World Series again.

For a brief history of the curse, press here: Billy Goat Curse

Here's a joke from Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show:

Goats are not allowed into Wrigley Field. Hot dog vendors disagree.

I didn't know that, thanks amiga. I think you could be right about the goat meat in the hot dog.. lol - rac1, Oct 25, 2016
Thanks, Ambette. I guess I'm your source of Cub news. lol - Sassette, Oct 26, 2016
