In general the sentence structure is relatively flexible in Spanish. You can emphasize words by changing the sentence structure.
The normal structure of Spanish declarative sentences is similar to the English one: subject + verb + object.
The subject pronouns in Spanish are omitted in most of the sentences. In case you want to emphasize the person, you can use the pronoun.
Subject | Verb | Object | Translation |
---|---|---|---|
(Yo) | leo | libros. | I read books. |
(Tú) | hablas | español. | You speak Spanish. |
(Ella) | come | Paella. | She eats Paella. |
(Nosotros) | bebemos | Sangría. | We drink Sangria. |
(Vosotros) | bailáis | flamenco. | You dance flamenco. |
(Ellos) | aprenden | matemáticas. | They learn maths. |
If you want to learn more about declarative sentences in Spanish, just have a look at our page!

In English as well as in Spanish, a distinction is made between yes/no- questions and supplementary questions. Yes/no- questions are answered with yes or no, supplementary questions require a question pronoun (interrogative pronoun) and a more detailed answer with further information.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
I got certified with the University of Cambridge TKT test, developed empathy to students, polished my method, and the last 5 years I have been teaching english in an online environment.
After years teaching online, I can say that the computer screen is not a limitation. I love to see my students thrive in a new language, I develop my own exercises too, My classes are fun, dynamic and interesting to say the least, I believe I have the patience to create exercises and drills for my students and approach learning from a different perspective and overcome boredom, tiredness and lack of discipline.
I work with realia mostly, and I can tell you that nothing is more powerful than things and situations that are personal to a person.

I'm an experienced language teacher with 5 years of experience teaching Catalan, Spanish and English to all levels and ages (children and adults) and German to beginners. I've worked as a private teacher and as a teacher in a school, so I can handle students one to one as well as groups. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, I also have experience in online teaching.
I've got a degree in Catalan and English philology, a post-degree in teaching Catalan and the official master for teaching in secondary and Language Schools (English speciality).
In my classes I always take into account my students' needs. I focus on communication, without forgetting that we need to learn the grammar in order to speak/write correctly.
I use different materials depending on the level, the language and the students, but they are always of diverse nature and they include videos. I usually include material created by me.
I love learning languages myself, so I always try to think how I like the classes in order to make my own teaching more appealing to my students, so you can trust that, if you take classes with me, you will have an experiences teacher as well as an experienced language learner.

Noelia is a highly professional teacher that I would recommend to any level student. She is organized and very knowledgeable, and does an excellent job explaining concepts such as grammar and expressions. She will also work with you to develop the particular skills you want to improve and gather relevant materials ahead of time so that you can practice them at home and then work on them together in class.

My name is Lisette and I live in Cape Town, South Africa.
I have had 2 years of tutoring experience in English and am currently tutoring a 5-year-old boy in the UK.
I am a certified ESL teacher after completing a 120-hour course through www.letstefl.com which is affiliated and accredited with WTEFLAC (World TEFL Accrediting Commission). This enables me to teach beginners, intermediate and advanced students.
I am very patient and believe in having a great relationship with my students, so learning revolves around trust, and making mistakes is natural! I strongly believe in motivation and praise and building your self-confidence on your English language journey. I will be with you all the way!
My learning materials depend on what lessons you require. If you are a beginner, we'll be using fun flashcards and props. I have an interactive board that I use as well as a whiteboard and playing games and checking your comprehension as we go along. Not to mention rewards and lots of fun!
For intermediate students, we can expand your basic English, learn about different pop cultures, what you are interested in, music, and social media.
If you just need basic English to shop, to use local transport or to order in a restaurant, I'll provide examples that are simple and easy to remember.
I look forward to hearing from you and any questions that you may have.

Hello everyone! I'm Marta, and I am an Italian teacher. Since the beginning of my career I have worked in contact with foreign languages and Italian. While studying to obtain my master's degree in "Italian language and culture for foreigners", I had the opportunity to work as an Italian language assistant in a foreign University. More recently, I held an Italian course for people who have just arrived in Italy.
My greatest passion is literature, which I avidly read. To pursue this interest I also undertook a post-graduate master in translation, which allowed me to become a Spanish translator and to explore the world of editing by doing an internship at an independent publishing house. I am also fluent in English.
The classes for my students are centred around oral communication and Italian grammar, so I put great effort to exclusively speak Italian and avoid using other languages. I personalise PowerPoint presentations for my students, and I regularly prepare weekly assignments to be revised during the following lesson, in order to encourage individual study. The first class is free and is centred around the interests and needs of the student, in order to create a personalized and engaging program.
Teaching and languages has always been my passion, so if you want to learn or deepen your knowledge of Italian language and culture, do not hesitate to contact me!

I have been an instructor of English as a second language for 8 years now. Teaching students from different countries. I conduct Conversational English classes and Business English classes to students of different skill levels and age levels - from beginner to advance, from kindergarten to professionals. I have won different awards for my exemplary performance including best teacher. I have attended numerous training sessions to enhance skill set, including accent training, grammar training, product training and personality development training. In my own teaching, I apply the conversational approach which can give students powerful potential, having more speaking confidence will allow students to converse on many different topics, which is every language teacher's dream for their students.

Hey guys!
As a famous proverb says: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."
Many people say it’s easier to learn a language when you are young but there are advantages to learning a language when you are older.
That's why I'm here, your teacher Mila, to help you improve your vocabulary, grammar, erase your fear for speaking and teach you some great things about the world's culture.
I'm a Master Professor of English Language and Literature, with more than 8 years of teaching experience in several countries.
I'm focused on teaching vocabulary and grammar through speaking and natural acquisition with communication.
There's no any boring book in my class, but a lot of interesting materials, worksheets and videos created for each and every student individually to meet everyone's requirements.
I'd be happy to meet you soon and start creating some magic with learning.

My name is Eleni and I’m a certified Greek language tutor and a native speaker of Greek, living in Hania, Crete. I'm also a certified English teacher and provide English language lessons to all levels and ages.
I'm specialized in teaching a foreign language to students with learning difficulties.
I have experience in teaching Modern Greek to children and adults of various levels, from absolute beginners to advanced students. My teaching depends on my students, their needs, their interests and their level in Greek language.
The materials I use during the learning journey are updated and colorful learning materials – the materials are structured in accordance with the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR). Furthermore, I use interactive material, like videos, music, and up-to-date software, where the student gets engaged during the learning process.
My goal is to maintain my students enthusiasm and curiosity during this learning journey. I make sure my students improve their speaking skills and get results so that they can talk with confidence to Greek speakers.
Book your trial lesson and we will discuss your language needs in detail.
I look forward to meeting you. Ya sou!
