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.

Debido a una medicina que estaba tomando mis ojos eran incapaces de ajustarse al resplandor del sol.

Ahora tengo que usar gafas oscuras.

Because of a medicine I was taking my eyes were unable to adjust to the glow of the sun.

El resplandor del sol es tal que uno debe usar gafas especiales incluso para ver un eclipse- todavía no hemos comprado unas para el eclipse que va a ocurrir en agosto.

The radiance of the sun is such that one must use special glasses even to look at an eclipse- we still have not bought them for the eclipse that is going to happen in August.

The glare of a car's headlights can be very dangerous at night because they are so bright.

El resplandor de las luces de un coche puede ser muy peligroso en la noche debido a que es tan luminoso.
