Spanish Grammar

Nouns in Spanish have two genders: masculine (el) and feminine (la).
To form plurals, add -s to words ending in a vowel (libro → libros) or -es to words ending in a consonant (casa → casas).
Adjectives must match the gender and number of the nouns they modify, typically placed after the noun (e.g., casa blanca for "white house").
Spanish verbs conjugate differently based on subject pronouns: yo (I), tú (you), él/ella (he/she), nosotros (we), vosotros (you plural), ellos (they).
Regular verbs are categorized as -ar (e.g., hablar), -er (e.g., comer), and -ir (e.g., vivir).
The present tense describes current actions, such as hablo (I speak) and comes (you eat).
The preterite tense expresses completed actions, like hablé (I spoke) and comí (I ate).
The imperfect tense indicates ongoing past actions, using forms like hablaba (I was speaking) and comía (I was eating).
The future tense is created by combining the infinitive with specific endings (e.g., hablaré for "I will speak").
The subjunctive mood conveys desires, doubts, or hypothetical scenarios and is formed by modifying the present tense yo form.
Subject pronouns include: yo, tú, él, nosotros, and others; object pronouns include: me, te, lo/la, nos; reflexive pronouns are: me, te, se, nos.
