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.

Siempre he tratado de reutilizar las cajas, las bolsas, las cintas y lazos e incluso las etiquetas de los regalos de Navidad, aunque hacerlo fastidia a mi esposa, pero nunca lo he hecho con el papel de envolver, y por eso me hizo feliz cuando empezaron a permitirme ponerlo en el reciclaje .

I have always tried to reuse the boxes, the bags, the ribbons and bows and even the tags of Christmas presents, even though doing so annoys my wife, but I have never done so with the wrapping paper, and so it made me happy when they began to allow me to put it in the recycling. I like not having any of the wrapping in the regular trash.
