[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Understanding Spanish Grammar.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Suffixes and prefixes.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Generally, the suffix -ally in English translates to -almente. For example, "generally" in Spanish is generalmente. For words ending with -tive they translate to -tivo like in divertido, meaning "amusing". For verbs ending in "-tate" they usually translate into -tar like in facilitar, meaning "to facilitate". Also, words like "to mitigate" would turn into mitigar. They also have prefixes that change. For example, "for" is por in Spanish. The suffix "-tion" usually translates into -ción in Spanish, like in noción, meaning "notion". That’s the general relationship between English and Spanish prefixes and suffixes. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Nouns. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Mainly, all you need to know for nouns is that they usually don’t usually look anything like English. Usually nouns ending with -o are masculine and the nouns ending with -a are feminine. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Adjectives. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Usually the adjectives in Spanish go after the noun, like in la casa blanca meaning "the white house". Also, the adjectives need to be the same gender as the noun. For example, if you wanted to say "white dog", it would be perro blanco, not perro blanca. This is so because perro is masculine. Thus, it needs to be followed by a masculine adjective. Adjectives ending with "-cious" usually translate to -cioso. To see how other adjective suffixes end in Spanish, refer to the suffixes and prefixes section. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Pronouns.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The pronouns in Spanish usually go first in the sentence and are followed by the verb or adjective. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Example, Mike es muy fuerte, meaning "Mike is very strong". [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Verbs.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The verbs follow the noun or pronoun, like in English, but unlike English there are verb conjugations to tell you who is doing the action. Hablo means "I speak" and habla means "you speak".[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Adverbs.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Spanish does utilize adverbs; these are usually placed after verbs and generally end with -almente. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Participles.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The participles in Spanish usually indicate whom the action is being done to. For example, no te entiendo means "I do not understand you".[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Gerunds.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The gerunds in Spanish usually end in -ando or -iendo depending on if they are from an -er, -ir, or -ar verb. They typically follow the verb and go before the adverb. [/font]
