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.

Si quieres amenizar la fiesta de tu hijo, contrata unos payasos.

Nunca contrataría payasos para amenizar mi fiesta, porque son escalofriantes.

I would never hire clowns to liven up my party, because they are creepy.

"It" was a scary movie for sure. I love the second picture. A lot of people have given their brains a permanent vacation. lol - rac1, Aug 7, 2017
jejejeje, en su lugar, bien hecho, mucho más rica y mucho más guapa: al final se llama "rubia" jeje - 006595c6, Aug 7, 2017
Beer is definitely better than clowns. As sassette would say, there are a lot of scary clowns running around right now. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 7, 2017
Yes less clowns, more beer. I'm sick of all these clowns :-)! - Jraider, Aug 7, 2017
Gracias Heidi, no "su" was a genuine typo for once :) Al final se llama "rubia"? Te refieres a la ultima oracion de Amber? - jellonz, Aug 7, 2017

Dos jonrones en el mismo juego por Willson Contreras amenizaron a la multitud en Wrigley Field hoy. Desafortunadamente, los Cachorros perdieron de todos formas.

Two homeruns in the same game by Willson Contreras livened up the crowd at Wrigley Field today. Unfortunately, the Cubs still lost.

...amenizaron a ....los Cachorros perdieron de todas formas. - 006595c6, Aug 7, 2017
Thank you, Heidi. Are there two ways to look at it? Could it be amenizó if the emphasis is on the crown being livened up and aminizaron if the emphasis is on the home runs? - Echoline, Aug 7, 2017
I think they have a World Series hangover Missy :-)! - Jraider, Aug 7, 2017
