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.

If you eat something, say liver, and you dont like the aftertaste to begin with, it would be even worse to have to experience it again if you got the flu and threw it up and had to experience the aftertaste yet another time....yes, it is a gross sentence! - Echoline, Jul 3, 2017

Chaser es el chupito en españa. En general, la terminología de palabra es larga, la bebida tomada inmediatamente después de otra distinta, por ejemplo, una copita de licor después de una cerveza. Ojalá que ayude. - NKM1974, Jul 3, 2017

Perhaps it is not the aftertaste of his whiskey, but the aftertaste of his foul words.

Tal vez no sea el regusto de su whisky, sino el regusto de su asquerosas palabras.

No me gustan los sustitutos de azúcar porque todos dejan un malísimo regusto y son malos para la salud.
