Spanish simple sentences follow, as in English, the scheme subject + verb + object.
Take online language lessons with a professional teacher
The subject pronouns in Spanish (yo, tú, él, ella, nosotros, vosotros, ellos, ellas) are omitted in most of the sentences. In case you want to emphasize the person, you can use the pronoun.
If there is a direct (who/what?) and an indirect (whom?) object in a Spanish sentence, the direct object usually precedes the indirect one. In English it is the other way around.
Subject | Verb | Direct object | Indirect object | Translation |
---|---|---|---|---|
(Yo) | leo | un cuento | a mi hermana. | I read my sister a story. |
La profesora | enseña | alemán | a los estudiantes. | The teacher teaches the students German. |
If the direct and indirect objects are replaced by pronouns, they stand before the verb.
The indirect object pronoun (who?) precedes the direct object pronoun (who/what?).
Here you can review Spanish direct and indirect object pronouns.
Indirect object pronouns | Direct object pronouns | Translation |
---|---|---|
me | me | me |
te | te | you |
lo, la | le | him, her, it, you |
nos | nos | us |
os | os | you (all) |
los, las | les | them, you (all) |
In Spanish pronouns can be attached to the infinitive or gerund. To the affirmative imperative they must be attached.
Example | Translation | |
---|---|---|
Infinitive |
| I don't want to get up. |
Gerund |
| I'm waking up. |
Imperative |
|
|
If an object pronoun is attached to a verb, it's often necessary to add an accent to the verb to preserve the natural stress.
In Spanish, the adjective stands usually behind the noun. However, there are a few exceptions: Some adjectives have different meanings when they are in front or behind the noun.
The adverbial phrase may be at the beginning of a sentence, in the middle or at the end of the sentence.
Adverbial phrases are ordered according to their importance in the sentence. The most important thing is at the end of the sentence.
After this lesson you are able to build declarative sentences in Spanish. Test your knowledge now in our free exercises. Good luck!

Hello, students of English! I'm an American who teaches English classes at a French university. I have a life-long passion for foreign languages. Apart from French, I also speak fluent Spanish and have an intermediate level in Portuguese.
Teaching my native language is not only a language exchange, but a cultural exchange allowing me to connect with people from many diverse backgrounds.
All levels are welcome, and we can work with whatever you want (conversation classes, writing, etc.) The first lesson is always free, and allows me to do a level test.

I am Susana or just call me Su, I grew up in Venezuela but my family is from Portugal, and I have been teaching in Madrid since 3 years ago. According to my students I am patient, dedicated and arrive to each class with a positive and happy attitude. As a teacher I am optimistic and enthusiastic and always try to transmit a boundless energy and yet straight-forward -guide. I know how to handle the change for different situations and to be flexible to every one according to their needs and goals.
The classes are a wonderful balance of textbook work and general speaking and reading, which is great to help with pronunciation and real life Spanish conversations.
The only I ask from students is that they want to learn and to share their stories as I will
I hold a Certificate in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language from Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru. My bachelor degree is Modern Languages from Universidad de Margarita but still I am learning everyday speacially from my students.
I started my experience as an assistant Spanish teacher at CELA Spanish School in Margarita island, eight years ago. Then I moved to London for one year and worked as one to one Spanish tutor. Today I am currently living in Madrid and work as a Spanish Teacher
on line. Hope I can meet you and help you in this beautiful process. See you soon!!!

Susana is a really nice teacher, with experience teaching both online and in person. She structures her classes in a different way according to her student's level, but she always covers each one of the language learning skills. Her teaching materials are good and she also does a great use of online tools.

My teaching philosophy is to love teaching so that students will love learning. Bringing joy to the classroom is what it’s all about.

Hi! My name is Mireia and I am a passionate of the English language. When I was 15 I moved to New York to know the language further and decided to study English Studies at university. My aim is to get all the students to love the language, to find ways in which English can be added into their daily life through entertainment, creating a nearly-inmersive environment.

I’m a Finnish language trainer in Helsinki, and I offer one-to-one lessons for people learning either language. I have four years’ experience teaching adults from all around the world with various backgrounds and vastly different levels, skills and individual difficulties.
My approach is both academic and practical. Having studied both languages independently as well as at university level, I am intensely aware of the difficulties learners have. I clarify things in simple terms that the student can understand. I explain how things work and why to ensure the learner understands exactly what’s going on and can use it confidently. I give ample opportunity to practice it actively and passively in tailored lessons with games, music, videos, writing exercises, grammar drills and conversation.
I have an MA in Scandinavian Languages from the University of Helsinki, a BA in Finnish and European Studies with Swedish from University College London, received the highest grade in the Finnish National Certificate of Language Proficiency (YKI) in 2019, and began an MA in Translation Studies at the University of Helsinki in September 2020.
I provide most learning material electronically from my expansive library, but also purchase physical copies of textbooks for students when possible and necessary.

Hey! My name is Przemek and I'm an English linguistics graduate with a specialty in teaching and a holder of Delta, which is the highest and the most recognized diploma in the field of teaching English as a foreign language. I've been teaching for over 7 years, not only in Poland but also around the world. Teaching English gives me great satisfaction and motivates me to keep growing professionally. I'm also the founder and teacher at UP2 Academy - a modern online language school. I help people learning English by offering:
• individual classes – personalized lessons; help with current school or university material; topics tailored to the needs, e.g. business or legal English
• conversations – classes with an emphasis on speaking: improving pronunciation, learning fluency techniques; eliminating the most common lexical and grammatical errors; gaining self-confidence
• preparation for language exams – classes focused on exams, such as: Cambridge A2-C2, IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, BEC
• preparation for job interviews and self-presentations
Apart from that, my lessons are characterised by:
• Communicative approach: you learn through conversations, roleplays, discussions, without learning all the rules by heart.
• Immersion: all the classes and interaction are in English
• Practicality: the classes and the activities are set in a real-life context
• Customised approach: the way the classes are delivered is adjusted to the student’s level and interests
• All language skills development: apart from speaking, you will also practice listening, reading and writing, which are crucial elements of any language
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks!

Virginia is smiling and supportive all the time! She speaks many languages any addition of Spanish so she's able to help if I don't understand in Spanish.

Hi everyone!
My name is Kilian, I am 29 years old and I am a Spanish guy from Canary Islands.
A year ago I graduated in Spanish Language at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and I also finished the course that accredits me as a DELE examiner for levels B1 and B2 by the Instituto Cervantes. After studying abroad for six months (Czech Republic) I knew that I wanted to dedicate myself to teaching Spanish as a foreign language, so here I am!
Of course, my mother tongue is Spanish, but I also have an intermediate level of English which can be very useful to solve some doubts that may arise during the classes.
So if you want to learn more about Spain, about the fourth most spoken language in the world, and one of the most widely spoken languages in the planet, I look forward to share with you all of my knowledge in our class!
All the best!
