3 5 Simple Rules You Must Learn to Build Basic Spanish Sentences

4 Why Learn the Basics of Spanish Sentences?
Once you get these simple rules down, you’ll be able to construct more complex sentences. Think of the language as a building. If you don’t construct the foundations properly, the whole thing will fall down. But once you’ve got a solid foundation, you’re free to build whatever you like on top.

5 1. Every Spanish sentence needs a subject and a verb.
To make a normal, affirmative sentence, you need a subject and a verb.That’s it. If we imagine our subject is “Juan“—to use a typical Spanish name as is the way of most Spanish textbooks—and our verb is escribir (to write), we can then make the simple sentence: Juan escribe. To make things even easier, it’s often possible to omit the subject once we know who we are talking about. So if we said “Juan escribe,” our next sentence could be, “Escribe bien” (He writes well).

6 2. Adjectives come after nouns in Spanish sentences.
This is where English speakers are likely to make mistakes. Imagine that Juan has green eyes and we want to say so in Spanish. We need to write that he has “ojos verdes” (literally: eyes green) and not “verdes ojos.”  This rule applies to other adjective and noun combinations, not just green eyes. If Juan has long hair, we’d say he has “pelo largo” (literally: hair long) and if it’s short, it would be “pelo corto.”  Just to make things even more confusing, you also need to remember to make your adjectives agree. So if the noun is plural, the adjective needs to be plural too. For example, since ojos (eyes) is plural, that’s why we paired it with verdes (green – plural) and not the singular verde.

7 3. Adverbs function in Spanish like they do in English.
Like in English, Spanish adverbs are used to describe verbs. For example, “Juan lee rápidamente” (Juan reads quickly). How does he read? He reads quickly, which describes the verb “reads.” Good for Juan. Here’s another example: “Juan canta mal” (Juan sings badly). Not so good for Juan.

8 4. To make a Spanish sentence negative, add “no” before the verb.
At some point, unless you are the most positive person in the world, you’re going to want to make your sentences negative.The good news is that in Spanish negativity is really easy. Easier than in English. Just add “no” before the verb. That’s it. So “Juan escribe” (Juan writes) becomes “Juan no escribe” (Juan doesn’t write). Why Juan doesn’t write isn’t clear in this instance, but that’s the good thing about the basics.
