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.

Creo que los colibríes son los más exquisitos de los pajaros. Nunca he visto uno, no existen en mi país. Tendría que vistitar en las Americas para verlos.

I believe the hummingbirds are the most exquisite of the birds. I have never seen one, they don't exist in my country. I would have to visit the Americas to see them.

¿Por qué los alimentos que son buenos para usted no siempre muy exquisitos?

Par exemplio no pienso que un plato de brócoli es exquisito , pero es bueno para usted.

Why are the foods that are good for you are not always very delicous ?

For example , I do not think a plate of broccoli is exquisite but it is good for you.

La excepción es revolver frito estilo chino de brócoli, ahora que es exquisito.

The exception is stir fried broccoli chinese style , now that is exquisite.

I trained my taste to like brocoli. I eat most veggies raw, but when cooked, I like the chinese style as well. They don't overcook it. :) - rac1, Jul 9, 2017
I quite like raw broccoli, and it is usually what I pick first from those veggie trays. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 9, 2017
I like to boil mine, but raw broccoli is good as well. - Nickelbackfan1, Jul 9, 2017

Use a crystal or glass file. Metal file is abrasive, whilst emery file feels like sandpaper. - NKM1974, Jul 9, 2017

Vi la publicación de Ray, y decidí publicar sobre brócoli también. Puede ser exquisito cuando se asa hasta que esta crujiente. Me gusta.

I saw Ray's post and decided to post about broccoli too. It can be delicious when roasted until crispy. I love it.
