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 speakers 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.

Original post with a major error:
Este letrero, que cuelga debajo de una palapa, advierte visitantes resguardar sus pertenencias, porque los guardaparques no son responsables en caso de que algún objecto esté perdido.
Revised post
Este letrero, que cuelga debajo de una palapa, les advierte a visitantes que resguarden sus pertenencias, porque los guardaparques no son responsables en caso de que algún objecto esté perdido.
Common and acceptable English usage:
This sign, which hangs under a grass roof, warns visitors to safeguard their belongings because the park rangers are not responsible in case some object is lost.
Rewritten English to demonstrate how to think in Spanish:
This sign, which hangs under a grass roof, warns visitors that they might safeguard their belongings because the park rangers are not responsible in case some object is lost.
I put the "might" in the above sentence to mimic the use and meaning of the subjunctive in Spanish, which needs to be used for suggestions, orders, etc. Advertir is one such verb. And yes, I thought of this correction by myself, but I decided to show the original version as well as the revised version to possibly help others learn.
The basic rule in effect here it that when I got to the verb resguadar, I had a change in subject. The sign was the first subject, and visitors was the second subject. Therefore, it was wrong to use the Spanish infinitive as I did in the original post, even though this is the way we would do it in English.
