Understanding Spanish Grammar
Parts of speech are the building blocks of any language. In Spanish, understanding how different word types function helps you construct sentences correctly and express yourself clearly. Each grammatical category has its own rules for usage, agreement, and placement within sentences.
Spanish grammar differs from English in several key ways: nouns have grammatical gender, adjectives must agree with nouns, and verbs conjugate extensively to indicate person, number, tense, and mood. Exploring words by their grammatical function helps you understand these patterns and improve your fluency.
