What are the phrasal structure of Spanish language?

Question

It's all about the Spanish language.

Answer 1

Spanish language is very flexible, just like Italian, Greek or French, if I am not wrong. As long as your phrase makes sense, you can use it. It is not like German, where rules seem stricter, and I have the impression that it is more flexible than English.

Answer 2

I've consistently heard from my language lecturers that it's more difficult for any individual to be taught English. And that Spanish is likely one of the less complicated languages to be taught. I imply.. plenty of the phrases even appear alike!

Answer 3

Spanish seems to be pretty flexible in terms of its syntax (whether or not the sentences make sense if words are out of order, subjects like "I" "you" and "we" are missing or not, etc).

Compared to english, there's a lot more flexibililty, the biggest example being the way verbs are conjugated. The ending on a verb in spanish reflects who/what is doing the action, so the subject word itself (yo, tu, ellos, etc) can be omitted.

In english, the verbs don't have endings like that, and a lot of the conjugations seem to look alike. (I run, you run, we run, as opposed to yo corro, tu corres, nosotros corremos).


There's other stuff, like how questions are formed (position of subject/verb in sentence) being more flexible, but verbs are the most apparent example
