Structure of sentence
In Spanish, the nouns come before
the adjectives.

Ex:El Vestido azul (the dress blue)
 In English, the adjectives come
before the noun.

Ex: The blue dress

tu - your (familiar)
su - his,her,your

English and
Spanish use
Possessive
adjectives in
similar ways. We
use it for things
that belong to us.
Conjugations
You need to change verbs from the AR form into conjugate form.
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

•
First you need to choose a pronoun Ex. Yo
Second you need to choose a verb Ex. Cantar
Third you have to drop the ar at the end Ex. Cant
Fourth you have to add the correct verb ending to the
stem Ex. Canto
Fifth, you create a sentence. Ex. Yo canto muy bien.
Any word in Spanish that ends in AR ER or IR, is a verb.
To conjugate you need to change the ending of the
word.
This is similar to the English language because they both
change the ending of the word to conjugate.
Conclusion

The Spanish and English language
have similarities and differences in how
they are spoken. The grammar is
similar, although the structure of the
sentence is reversed from each other
