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.

The supplier of the "word of the day" gave "tempestuous "as an adverb

It is of course an " adjective" but "tempestuously" is the " adverb"

Strangely "tempestuously" translates as "tempestuoso" in Spanish does this

mean that it doubles as an 'adverb' ? A Spanish native help is required here.


tempestuously

adv without restraint

Synonyms for tempestuously adv without restraint

frantically
furiously
stormily
tumultuously

turbulently
violently

As far as I know "tempestuoso" is not an adverb, It's an adjetive. Btw it can be placed before or after nouns in Spanish.

Thanks for your information. Please add the Spanish. :) - rac1, Feb 10, 2017
The adverb: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tempestuosamente - is there somewhere someone has misused it as an adverb in this thread? :) - bosquederoble, Feb 10, 2017
This thread is designed for us to practice writing sentences. If you want to do corrections of anyone's Spanish as a native speaker, you can put your suggestions in a comment below the individual post. - bosquederoble, Feb 10, 2017
Be cautious as occasionally a native Spanish speaker posts looking for corrections to their English, and acceptable regional variation occurs among native Spanish speakers. :) - bosquederoble, Feb 10, 2017
Sheesh! No body is calling it an adverb. It was introduced as an adjective and has been used correctly so far, albeit there have been other errors. - Daniela2041, Feb 10, 2017
I didn't see a misuse that way either. As far as I can tell they are even matched to the noun correctly, assuming Ray meant relación. I was trying to figure out a reasoning behind the post myself. - bosquederoble, Feb 10, 2017
"Tempestuoso" was introduced as an adverb by rac1 but none of you noticed it, in fact she thanked me for the information, you can ask her. - DoctorSpanish, Feb 10, 2017
Okay, I can see that in the history of her post, now that you point that out. :) - bosquederoble, Feb 10, 2017
I don't know what either of those are. - Nickelbackfan1, Feb 10, 2017
I just saw this. Sorry DoctorSpanis. You are correct. I had posted it as an adverb. - rac1, Feb 11, 2017
