What you'll learn

Key ideas in Spanish Grammar for Real Conversations

  • Spanish usually places the person doing the action first
  • Spanish verb endings change to show who is performing the action
  • The action (verb) follows the subject
  • The ending '-o' in 'Hablo' already tells the listener 'I' am speaking
  • The object being acted upon comes last
  • Including the pronoun is often redundant and used only for emphasis
  • The ability to recognize the standard SVO structure in a Spanish sentence
  • Understanding that verb endings make subject pronouns optional
  • Every Spanish noun is categorized as either masculine or feminine
  • Nouns ending in -a are typically feminine, while those in -o are typically masculine
  • The article (the/a) must match the gender of the noun it precedes
  • Applying gender agreement between nouns and their articles
  • Nouns ending in vowels add -s to become plural
  • Adjectives must also become plural to match the noun
  • The article (El) changes to a plural form (Los) to maintain agreement
  • Applying pluralization rules to a noun and its descriptor
