Spanish Language Grammar

Spanish language grammar is the foundational system of rules that dictates how words are combined to form meaningful sentences. This includes syntax, which determines word order and sentence structure; morphology, which deals with the forms of words, most notably the complex system of verb conjugations and the agreement of nouns and adjectives in gender and number; and phonology, which governs pronunciation and accentuation. A thorough understanding of these grammatical principles is essential for learners to move beyond basic vocabulary and achieve fluency, enabling them to express complex ideas accurately and comprehend the nuances of written and spoken Spanish.
