Wink Daily word
The sentences in the Daily word benefit me as much as the word does... I so appreciate the typical daily nature of the sentences.... they are simply so benificial for me to understand the true nature of the language... Thank you so much.

Muchas Gracias

Sí estoy de acuerdo también!

A mis jefes les gusta idear nuevas maneras para que pongan trabajar menos mientras yo tenga que trabajar más. También ojala les guste conceder a mí un día sin trabajo.

Hace tres días, antes de llevarles por avión al isla yo trataba de explicarles que mientras viviendo en la isla debieran idear un plan para sobrevivir porque la isla es muy peligrosa.

@Bob: English "-ing" is not often translated in a gerund form in Spanish. In this kind of cases, it's usually better trying an infinitive.

You could also have said "cuando se vive en una isla".

El tradujo de: While living in the island...y eso debería haberse traducido como: "Mientras esté(n) viviendo en la isla..."

También pudo haber dicho: Mientras viva(n) en la isla...
