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.

You can see them so much better in the country. :) - rac1, Jun 10, 2017
Plural adj. Nkm - "relucientes." Also I'm unsure about the gerundio "brillando" with a general time frame "En la noche." You may need to change the verb phrase to "brillan" or make the time specific eg "esta noche." Someone would need to confirm though:) - jellonz, Jun 10, 2017
Brillando is the present participle & brillado is the past participle. - NKM1974, Jun 10, 2017
Esta noche is tonight & por la noche is at night. - NKM1974, Jun 10, 2017
Yep. Gerundio/present participle for continuous action. I'm unsure if it would be suitable to use this continuous verb within a general time frame. It may be ok, but I have a feeling it isn't. Someone more advanced than me may enlighten :) - jellonz, Jun 10, 2017
