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.

Nos parece que ciertos animales, como los koalas y los perezosos, viven perezosamente sus vidas apenas moviéndose, pero este comportamiento es una adaptación necesaria a una dieta de hojas sin mucho valor nutricional.

It seems to us that certain animals, like the koalas and the sloths, live their lives lazily, hardly moving, but this behavior is a necessary adaption to a diet of leaves without much nutritional value.

Those look like fair weather clouds...not too hot. :) - rac1, Dec 9, 2016
I have never fallen in love with cricket... but I lived in the Eastern Caribbean for three years and the people there were nuts about it - mstivers, Dec 9, 2016

Después de ver este anuncio no tengo ganas al gimnasio. Hoy preferiría comer perezosamente galletas de jengibre todo el día.

After seeing this ad I don't feel like going to the health club. Today I would rather lazily eat gingerbread cookies all day long.

Thanks, Ambette. I was confident this would be a message that the site would appreciate. Of course, I created the graphic, not SpanishDict.com. - Sassette, Dec 9, 2016

In nature we can find excesses, for example there are the most industrious animals and also the laziest animals.

Hola, mstivers :) I'm wondering based on a reply by astotxua to a thread by bosque if it should be "Los sábados" because days of the week are treated like common nouns. - Sassette, Dec 9, 2016
