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 speaker's 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.

Thank you for these examples, our English professor. :) - rac1, Dec 14, 2015
These are good, because I think in English 'necessarily' is only used in the negative ie 'not necessarily'. - jennysk, Dec 15, 2015

Being smart or educated is not necessarily the same thing as being wise.

Ser inteligente o educado no es necesariamente lo mismo que ser sabio.

Very good, Porcu. ♥ - rac1, Dec 14, 2015
Yes, great sentence ...Porcu :) Just two small English corrections: 1 if you like football (no article 'the' necessary) 2 and fightS with fans I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Dec 14, 2015
This order is better:..Si a ti te gusta el fútbol no.....un patán without 'a'..:) - Pablo064, Dec 15, 2015
Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Dec 15, 2015

El hermano menor de Alberto es más educado. Por eso Alberto dice, “El primer nacido no necesariamente se convierte en el más fuerte o el cumplidor más alto en la familia."

Alberto’s younger brother is more educated. That’s why Alberto says, “The first born does not necessarily become the strongest or the highest achiever in the family.”

He descubierto que no es necesariamente una buena idea entrar en un pánico debido a que la oferta de Windows 10 gratis está a punto de caducar y darte por vencido y actualizar tu sistema de Windows 7 que no ibas a actualizar. Ayer tuve que pasar el día ayer reinstalando Windows 7 de los discos y perdí muchos archivos.

I have discovered that it is not necessarily a good idea to go into a panic because the offer of free Windows 10 is about to expire y give up and update your Windows 7 system that you were not going to update. I had to spend yesterday reinstalling Windows 7 from the disks and lost a lot of files.

Thanks for the advice. Almost every time I log on to Windows it wants me to download Windows 10 - no thank you! - Jubilado, Dec 14, 2015
Worked okay from Windows 8 on two computers. But it was disaster for me on Windows 7. Couldn't get past the Welcome page. :( - bosquederoble, Dec 14, 2015
Thank you very much for the warning, Bosque! :) I was uncertain about updating to it ! I use Windows 7 Home Premium on a Tosh Satellite i 3 - FELIZ77, Dec 14, 2015
i was going to ask a computer expert/specialist to create some back up disks to restore Windows 7 in the event of similar problems or simpy if I did not like windows 10 - FELIZ77, Dec 14, 2015
But this may not be the case on every Windows 7- it may simply not have liked my password, which was a "weak" four letter all lower case one that windows 7 allows, but windows 10 doesn't. - bosquederoble, Dec 14, 2015
I have windows 10 and have had no problems. Did you contact them to see what was going on? I'm confused as to what happened. - rac1, Dec 14, 2015
i upgraded windows 7 to windows 10 (having previously upgraded my two windows 8 computers to 10) and the initial page said welcome to windows 10, had the user name from windows 7, and everytime i entered the password, it would just shut down and restart. - bosquederoble, Dec 14, 2015
I could not get anything but that first page. And the password wouldn't get me in to where I could even do a recovery, so I had to use my backup disks. I have never found tech support to be of any use, so I didn't bother. - bosquederoble, Dec 14, 2015
Bosque, whose tech support? Microsoft's? - FELIZ77, Dec 15, 2015
buena idea without article is better in this case '..entrar en pánico..Ayer tuve que pasar is better... - Pablo064, Dec 15, 2015

Ella dijo a su novio "Tu comportamiento no es bueno. ¡Tienes que cambiar!" Así él intentó cambiar. Después de un rato le preguntó a la chica: "¿Me quieres más ahora?" Ella le respondió "Es verdad que has cambiado - pero no es necesariamente para mejor!"

She said to her boyfriend " Your behaviour is not good. You have to change!" So he tried to change. After a while he asked her: "Do you like me more now?" She replied "It's true you have changed, but not necessarily for the better!"

She must be looking for perfection and will never find it. - rac1, Dec 15, 2015
If it were me, I would follow her advice and change: HER! I would tell her it's over, you can look for Mr perfect if you want, but I'm off to find Miss right for me! lol) - FELIZ77, Dec 15, 2015

Politician: "I was not necessarily lying, I was simply being economical with the truth!"

TV reporter laughs sarcastically: " Hahaha, so (in that case/if that's the case) which part of your speech today were you expecting us to believe?"

Con una corrección esential:

El político: << ¡(Yo) No decía mentiras, necesariamente, sólo estaba diciendo verdades a medias!

Reportero ríe con sarcasmo: << jajaja ...si ese es el caso, ¿qué parte de su discurso, hoy, esperaba de que creyéramos? (No estoy seguro cómo traducir esta* parte)

¿Qué parte de su...? sounds better...esperaba que creyéramos.. you don't need subject but it is okay - Pablo064 15 hrs ago

Corrijan mi español (en mi post arriba), si es necesario, por favor smile

Original caption: (Spanish only)

El político: << ¡(Yo) No decía mentiras, necesariamente, sólo estaba diciendo verdades a medias!

Reportero rió con sarcasmo: << jajaja ...si ese es el caso, ¿cuál parte de su discurso, hoy, esperaba Ud de que creyéramos? (No estoy seguro cómo traducir esta* parte)

Editor's note: At the risk of sounding cynical, I wonder how many politicians of all (political) parties have ever heard of the children's story: 'The boy who cried wolf' and have truly 'taken on board' (put into practice) the implicit meaning (lesson)? Yet, so many of them expect people to continue to trust them despite all the scandels! Do they not realize that they they have a responsibility to lead by example in every country of the world if they want people to trust what they say?! Sure, we cannot expect them to be perfect as we aren't either, but if they could show enough) humility and the guts (courage) to admit to (take responsibility for) their failed policies and broken promises, that would be a good start!

Nota del editor: Al riesgo de aparecer cínico, me pregunto ¿cuántos políticos de todos partidos nunca jamás han oído hablar del cuento para niños que se llama: 'El cuento de pastorcito mentiroso' y en realidad han practicado (o aplicado) la lección implícito? A pesar de eso, muchos de ellos dan por supuesto que la gente siguen a depositar su confianza en ellos, a pesar de todos los escándolos? ¿No se dan cuenta de que tienen una responsibilidad predicar con el ejemplo en cada país del mundo, si desearan que la gente depositaría su confianza en ellos! ¡Por supuesto que no podamos insistir en que sean perfecto, porque no somos perfecto tampoco, pero sería una buena punto de partido si podrían demostrar suficiente humildad y el coraje para admitir su culpablidad para sus politícas fracasadas y promesas rotas!

They seem to start out with good intentions and I'm sure they don't want to fail, but as you know, we have something called Congress. lol I know I wouldn't want to take such a difficult job. - rac1, Dec 14, 2015
Me neither! We should pray more often for them...it must be a very difficult job but they have freewill and so often choose to allow party politics and vested interests to dominate. - FELIZ77, Dec 14, 2015
What I never understand is ther right for citizens to own guns Every time I hear of another kid being killed in a school in USA my heart sinks and I often pray for these families!Surely it would be better to have more police on the streets so they could - FELIZ77, Dec 14, 2015
respond more quickly in emergency situations not just in schools but people's private homes! - FELIZ77, Dec 14, 2015
As Abe Lincoln said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time." Since at least in the USA only some of the people vote a majority of that "some" are needed to get elected. Hence we have a whole government of "foolers." - Jubilado, Dec 14, 2015
And thanks for you kind comment to me. I always enjoy your posts. - Jubilado, Dec 14, 2015
You are welcome, Jubilado Thank you for your encouraging comment about enjoying my posts! - FELIZ77, Dec 15, 2015
Here in Oz we see pollies who seem motivated by self-interest, ego, and others under the influence of rich corporations, but others who are honest and sincerely wanting to improve the cdountry. What a tough job! - jennysk, Dec 15, 2015
