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. |

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.

Hey there,
Let me tell you quickly something about me and what I do.
I am a translator by training and a compulsive traveler by birth. I love cats and salsa music. English has always been my passion and I'm here to help other people feel confident when speaking, writing and working with this language.
My teaching method is a very personal mix made of tips and methods taken from different schools of thought, many first-hand experiences I have had in the field, all combined with my mission to help students overcome their fears and blocks when it comes to English.
In my classes you will have the advantage of feeling well looked after - my preparation in cultural and language studies allows me to listen to and understand the challenges students from different linguistic backgrounds face.
If this sounds like you, let's start working together.
With dedication,
Elisabetta

My name is Abdelrahman, I'm a native Arabic speaker. I'm passionate about teaching Arabic. so it will be a great pleasure for me to help you learn Standard Arabic and Egyptian dialects.
My teaching approach will be easy and a lot of fun, Because I'm going to set up a suitable syllabus for every student depends on their needs and levels. and I want to make your path to learn easier and shorter. I'm looking forward to seeing you.
I often use these books in my teaching way:
- Arabic courses for English-speaking students (Madina book)
- Arabic between your hands.
- Al-kitab Al-Asasi (the basic book for non-Arabic speakers).
- kallimni Arabi bishweesh (Egyptian Arabic).
-Egyptian vernacular
I'm also choosing the best things from different books, so they can be suitable for my students.
I'm trying my best to make my lessons interesting and not boring, I have taught different ages from children to older people, and alhamdulillah it was a fantastic lesson.

I graduated with a bachelor's in Elementary Education from J.H Cerilles State College last 2018 and passed the licensure examination for teachers in the same year.
I am also pursuing my master's degree at Southern Mindanao Colleges.
I also acquired my TESOL and TEYL which qualifies me to teach learners English as their second language
I have been teaching English as a second language for over 3 years.
I was able to teach from zero-level learners to advance learners, as my students' age ranged from 3 years old to 60 years old.
I like teaching a variety of students because that way I will be able to master handling different kinds of learners ad address their needs appropriately.
I am using the student-center and communicative approach in teaching my students because I want my students to learn at their own pace, at the same time they will also learn how to communicate.
With these qualifications, I am confident to quality in your company. as I am very willing to enhance my skills especially in teaching English as a second language.

Good Day! I'm Edelyn but you can call me Teacher Ed's. I am a License Professional Teacher and a Microsoft Innovative Educator from the Philippines. I have a degree in Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English. I'm sharing my enthusiasm in Teaching English and Filipino or Tagalog Language for six years.
My teaching style is depends on what my students like and comfortable with because, I believe that even you're a very good teacher if your teaching style is not suitable for your learner they will be having a hard time to understand your lesson.
So, If you want to Learn English or Tagalog, Conversational, Wika or Panitikan (means Grammar and Literature in Tagalog) you can book me as your teacher. See you soon!

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.
