parts of a speech in spanish

Parts of Speech in Spanish

Las categorías gramaticales ( parts of speech ) are the building blocks of Spanish grammar, as they help us understand how words work together to create cohesive sentences. By learning the parts of speech, you'll feel more confident building your own sentences from scratch because you'll understand how to properly combine words to create meaning.

Why Learn the Parts of Speech in Spanish?

Knowing the basic parts of speech is crucial to the language learning process—especially when you are learning how to build your own sentences. If the wrong part of speech is used in a sentence, the message becomes unclear and can cause confusion.

Here are some reasons why you should take the time to learn the parts of speech in Spanish:

• By learning the parts of speech, you will understand how words should be used together to make sentences.
• Knowing the parts of speech helps you use punctuation correctly in sentences.
• Using a variety of parts of speech enriches the depth and meaning of a sentence.
• When you're looking up a word in a dictionary, you need to know the part of speech of the word in order to pick the right translation. For example:

All the bolded words in the previous examples translate as school , but they are not interchangeable. The first example uses school as a noun , the second example uses it as a verb , and the third example uses it as an adjective .

List of the Parts of Speech, Uses, and Examples

Now it’s time to take a look at the different parts of speech in Spanish!

The King of All Parts of Speech: El Verbo ( The Verb )

What is the most important part of speech? Los verbos ( verbs ), of course! Every complete sentence in Spanish needs one. The verb expresses an action or state of being of the subject in a sentence. All verbs in Spanish end in either -ar , -er , or -ir , and can be conjugated in a variety of tenses.

Let’s take a look at a few examples of how verbs are used in Spanish!

There are several different verb types in Spanish, including transitive verbs, intransitive verbs, pronominal verbs, reflexive verbs , and reciprocal verbs . It's helpful to know what they are and how they're different. Click here for more information!

Los Sustantivos ( Nouns )

El sustantivo is the part of speech used to name a person, place, or thing in a sentence. Nouns are either masculine or feminine in the Spanish language and can be singular or plural. The noun plays various roles in a sentence, such as the subject (who or what is performing the action of a verb), direct object, or indirect object.

For example:

Los Artículos ( Articles )

In Spanish, nouns don't like to be alone, so they are often accompanied by artículos . Spanish articles indicate the gender and number of a noun, as well as whether or not a noun is specific or general .

El , la , los , and las are the four definite articles in Spanish, and they often all translate to the same little word in English: the . Use these articles to refer to a specific noun.

Un , una , unos , and unas are the four indefinite articles , which translate to a , an , some or a few in English. These articles are used to refer to a general noun.

Let’s take a look at some examples!

Los Pronombres ( Pronouns )

The primary purpose of pronombres is to take the place of nouns . Pronouns help simplify sentences by eliminating repetition.

There are many different kinds of Spanish pronouns. Let’s take a look at this list of the most useful Spanish pronouns:

Los Adjetivos ( Adjectives )

There are several different types of adjetivos in Spanish, descriptive adjectives being the most common. As the name may suggest, descriptive adjectives describe some quality of a noun.

¡Cuidado! ( Careful! ) In Spanish, adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in gender and in number, and they typically follow the noun. Click here to learn more about noun-adjective agreement and here to learn about adjective placement.

• Relative Adjectives Like "Cuyo" in Spanish

Los Adverbios ( Adverbs )

Los adverbios are words used to modify or describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. There are many kinds of adverbs in Spanish, such as adverbs of time, place, quantity, and manner.

Las Preposiciones ( Prepositions )

Las preposiciones are little words, but they play a huge role in a sentence. They’re used to indicate a relationship between two words or phrases, linking them together. Prepositions are often used to indicate relationships of location, direction, or time.

Las Conjunciones ( Conjunctions )

Las conjunciones join two coordinating parts of a sentence together.

Spanish Grammar for Beginners: The 9 Parts of Speech

One of the most important parts of Spanish grammar for beginners is parts of speech!

You’ve probably heard your Spanish teacher talk about terms like sustantivo, verbo, and artículo in class, but what do they mean? Well, these are just a few of the parts of speech in Spanish!

Today, you’ll learn what these terms mean as I go over the 9 parts of speech in Spanish. Understanding how to use these terms can even help you learn Spanish faster! You can even test your new knowledge at the end of the post with a fun grammar quiz. 

What is a “Part of Speech”?

There are thousands of words in English and Spanish. Luckily, parts of speech exist to help categorize these words.

Parts of speech group words together based on their function in a sentence. In Spanish, the main parts of speech are: 

• Preposition
• Conjunction
• interjection 

The parts of speech are one of the most important Spanish grammar rules for beginners. There is lots of information packed into these 9 categories!

Knowing the Parts of Speech Makes Learning Spanish Easier

Understanding parts of speech is incredibly useful when learning a foreign language. Knowing a word’s part of speech tells you how to use it in a sentence. This knowledge makes it easier to properly construct sentences. 

Additionally, it’s important to know the parts of speech so that you’re not confused when your Spanish teacher talks about conjunctions, adverbs, and articles. Knowing some basic grammar terminology will help you better understand what’s going on in class. 

Discover the 9 Parts of Speech in Spanish

If you want to learn Spanish grammar for beginners, then knowing the parts of speech is a must. These categories are the building blocks for Spanish grammar. 

1. Articles ( Los artículos )

Articles draw special attention to the noun that they precede. The type of article shows the way that the speaker is thinking about the noun. The speaker could be talking about the noun in a general sense or as a specific item. The two distinct types of articles are definite and indefinite. 

Definite Articles

Definite articles specify which object, person, or place the speaker is talking about.

“The” is the only definite article in English. In Spanish, however, there are 4 definitive articles: los, las, el , and la . 

Again, these artículos change depending on the noun that they precede.

• Masculine singular: el
• Masculine plural: los
• Feminine singular: la
• Feminine plural: las

Let’s look at some examples.

La maestra pone el lápiz en la mesa. The teacher puts the pencil on the table.

El perro corre en el patio. The dog runs in the yard.

Indefinite Articles

Indefinite articles are a nonspecific way to refer to a noun. “A” and “an” are the only two English indefinite articles that exist. However, in Spanish, there are four.

Again, these artículos change depending on the noun that they proceed.

• Masculine singular: un 
• Masculine plural: unos
• Feminine singular: una 
• Feminine plural: unas

Look how the sentences change with indefinite articles.

Una maestra pone un lápiz en una mesa. A teacher puts a pencil on a table.

Un perro corre en un patio. A dog runs in a yard.

2. Nouns ( Los sustantivos )

You’ve probably heard that nouns in English are people, places, and things. Luckily, the same holds true in Spanish!

Nouns, or sustantivos , can be objects, feelings, and even concepts. They help you talk about the physical and imaginary world. Nouns are essentially names that identify objects. 

Many Spanish words have a specific ending that tells you that the word is a noun. 

Spanish Noun Endings

– ción/-ión

• canción – song
• transición – transition
• aprobación – approval
• unidad – unity
• profundidad – depth
• hermandad – brother/sisterhood
• sencillez – simplicity
• fluidez – fluidity
• diez – ten

Nouns can occur anywhere in a sentence, but they usually appear as the subject at the beginning of the sentence or as an object at the end. 

El perro corre en el jardín. The dog runs in the yard.

Los niños juegan con el gato en la sala. The children play with the cat in the living room.

3. Adjectives (Los adjetivos)

Adjectives describe nouns. You use adjectives all the time! They add creativity, detail, and personality to your sentences. Adjectives help describe people, places, and the things around you. 

Common Adjectives

• grande – big/large
• hermoso –  beautiful
• azul – blue
• rápido – fast

Be careful with your adjective placement! In English, adjectives come before the noun that they describe. However, in Spanish, they come after the noun. 

Example Sentences

La maestra nueva pone el lápiz amarillo en la mesa sucia. The new teacher puts the yellow pencil on the dirty table.

El perro feo corre en el patio grande. The ugly dog runs in the big yard.

Los niños traviesos juegan con el gato gris en la sala desorganizada. The mischievous children play with the gray cat in the messy living room.

4.  Verbs ( Los verbos )

Los verbos describe an action or a state of being. Verbs make up an important part of Spanish grammar for beginners. Every sentence has a verb! 

Common Verbs

• pensar – to think
• vivir – to live
• ser – to be

The above verbs are in their neutral state, which is called the infinitive form. You can tell when a verb is in its infinitive form because it will end in -ar, -er, or -ir . 

However, most sentences won’t use verbs in their infinitive form. Instead, verbs are usually conjugated in the present, past, future, or other tenses. Spanish verbs require a lot of conjugating! Learn more about Spanish verb conjugation with this guide .

See if you can identify the verbs in each of the following sentences. 

La maestra pone el lápiz en la mesa. (poner) The teacher puts the pencil on the table.

El perro corre en el patio. (correr) The dog runs in the yard.

5.  Adverbs ( Los adverbios )

Just like how adjectives describe nouns, adverbs add a description to verbs. Adverb even has the word “verb” inside of it!

For example, instead of saying “he runs,” you can say “he runs fast.” “Fast” describes how the action is done. 

Common Spanish Adverbs

Los adverbios in Spanish have many different forms, but the most common ending is – mente . In English, they end in -ly. 

• lentamente – slowly
• felizmente – happily
• cuidadosamente – carefully

Take a look at how adverbs affect these sentences.

La maestra pone el lápiz cuidadosamente en la mesa. The teacher carefully puts the pencil on the table.

El perro corre rápidamente en el patio. The dog runs quickly in the yard.

Los niños juegan silenciosamente con el gato en la sala. The children play quietly with the cat in the living room.

6. Pronouns ( Los pronombres )

A pronoun is essentially a word that substitutes a noun. You don’t want to keep using the same noun over and over again when telling a story. This repetition would sound boring and cluttered. Instead, you use a pronoun to replace the noun that you are talking about. 

Take a look at this paragraph without pronouns:

The teacher walked into class. Then the teacher told us that the teacher had a surprise. The teacher brought cupcakes to class!

Now take a look at the same paragraph using pronouns:

The teacher walked into class. Then she told us that she had a surprise. She brought cupcakes to class!

See how important pronouns are? They make the paragraph much more clear and concise!

Spanish Subject Pronouns

Spanish subject pronouns are the most common type of pronoun. They are broken down by the gender and number of the noun they replace. 

Try to identify the subject pronouns in these sentences. 

Ella pone el lápiz en la mesa. She puts the pencil on the table.

Él corre en el patio. He runs in the yard.

7. Prepositions ( Las preposiciones )

Prepositions explain the relationships between nouns. They tell you how two nouns are related, often referring to a location. 

Common Spanish Prepositions

• en – in, on
• por – by, because of
• debajo – below
• adentro – inside

These words are normally sandwiched by two nouns, as you can see in the following examples.

El perro corre alrededor del patio. The dog runs around the yard.

8. Conjunctions ( Las conjunciones )

Conjunctions are words that connect nouns, verbs, phrases, and sentences. They help you piece together different ideas. 

There are two main types of conjunctions: simple and complex. The simple conjunctions are the ones that you use all the time. In English, they are “and”, “but”, and “or”. Complex conjunctions, on the other hand, have a little more depth. 

Simple Spanish Conjunctions

• y – and
• o – or
• pero – but

Complex Spanish Conjunctions

• sin embargo – however 
• por lo tanto – therefore 
• así que – so
• aunque – even though

Take a look at how these conjunctions act in a sentence. 

La maestra pone el lápiz en la mesa pero se cae. The teacher puts the pencil on the table but it falls off.

Aunque el perro y el niño corrieron en el patio, todavía tienen energía. Even though the dog and the boy ran in the yard, they still have energy.

Los niños juegan con el gato en la sala. Así que, no nos van a molestar. The children play with the cat in the living room. So, they will not bother us.

9. Interjections ( Las interjecciones )

Interjections are abrupt remarks that help you to express different emotions. They also help to improve your Spanish by making it sound more natural! 

Interjections are a fun part of Spanish grammar for beginners. They are short words or phrases so they are easy to remember. Plus, native speakers will love hearing you use these natural Spanish sounds. 

Common Interjections in English

Common interjections in spanish.

Interjections can vary in their meaning. Context is extremely important to help decode them. Volume, pitch, and speed can also help show meaning. Interjections can also be filler words. They are a way to fill in a space or pause while the speaker thinks of the next thing they want to say. In this way, they are a means of not giving up airtime or preventing someone from interrupting.

Take a look at how interjections add emotion and feeling to these sentences. 

¡Venga! La maestra ya ha empezado la clase. Come on! The teacher already started class.

¡Ay! El perro está fuera del patio. Hey! The dog is outside of the yard.

Parts of Speech in Spanish Grammar

Beginner spanish grammar lesson.

We can divide parts of speech in Spanish into nine different types. Let's idetify them first:

Nouns are names of things, places, ideas/concepts, or people.

SUSTANTIVOS (nouns)

Examples of nouns:

• Pedro - name of a person
• Casa (house) - name of a thing
• Centro comercial (shopping mall) - name of a place
• Democracia (democracy) - name of a concept (abstract noun)

Remember that in Spanish nouns need to carry the gender and number. To do this correctly, you need to remember the rules and exceptions for feminine and masculine nouns. The basic rule is that nouns that end in 'o' are masculine, and nouns that end in 'a' are feminine. But there are other rules and exceptions you need to know.

Articles - definite and indefinite define the status of the noun.

ARTICULOS (articles)

Examples of articles:

• The - is the definite article. In singular in Spanish it is "El" or "La" - el niño, la niña
• The definite article in plural in Spanish is "Los" or "Las" - los niños, las niñas
• A - is the indefinite article. In singular in Spanish it is "Un" or "Una" - un niño, una niña.
• The indefinite plural in Spanish is "Unos" or "Unas" - unos niños, unas niñas.

Pronombres (pronouns).

Pronouns are words we use to replace nouns. Pronouns carry the same number and gender as the noun they replace.

There are many different pronouns, for example:

• Personal pronouns: yo, tú, él, nosotros, vosotros, ellos. (I, you, he/she, we, they)
• Demonstrative pronouns: éste, aquél, ésa. (this, that, those)
• Possessive pronouns: los míos, la mía. (my, your, his, hers, theirs
• Relative pronouns: que, quien, el que, la cual. ( which, who, whose)
• Indefinite pronouns: algo, alguien. (something, someone)

VERBOS (verbs)

Verbs express an action or state that the subject of the sentence performs. In Spanish, there are regular and irregular verbs, and many different verb tenses which you can learn in our Grammar section .

The three infinitive forms that exist are: verbs ending in -ar (hablar), verbs ending in -er (comer) and verbs ending in -ir (vivir).

There are verbs that are transitive (those that need a direct object), and there are verbs that are intransitive (which do not need an object). An example of a transitive verb is preparar . Lucía está preparando la cena (Lucía is preparing dinner). On the other hand, you have intransitive verbs like correr . El corre cada mañana. (He runs every day).

Adjetivos (adjectives).

Adjectives describe and give extra information about nouns. There are descriptive adjectives such as “tonto”, “grande”, and limiting adjectives such as “este”, “aquel”, “cinco”, “mi”, “la”, “los”, etc. Adjectives must agree in number and gender with the noun, so adjectives have different forms. For example: “bueno”, “buena”, “buenos”, “buenas”, “mejor”, “el mejor”.

Adverbios (adverbs).

Adverbs describe or give extra information about a verb, an adjective or another adverb. There are many different type of adverbs:

• Adverbios de tiempo (adverbs of time): primero, luego, después.
• Adverbios de lugar (adverbs of place): acá, allá.
• Adverbios de modo (adverbs of manner): lentamente, mal, bruscamente.
• Adverbios de afirmación y negación (adverbs of affirmation and negation): sí, no, nunca.

It is important to know that adverbs can have comparative and superlative forms, as well as diminutive forms.

Preposiciones (preposition).

Prepositions are used to show the relationship between items in the sentence. For instance, these are some of the prepositions you can learn in Spanish:

• con (with) and sin (without)
• antes (before) and después (after)
• arriba (above> and abajo, debajo de (below, underneath)
• contra (against)

There are prepositions of time, place, direction, sequence, etc.

Conjunciones (conjunctions).

Conjunctions are linkers we use to make sentences and paragraphs more cohesive and natural. The most common ones are y (and) and pero (but). Other common ones are: de manera que , así que , etc.

INTERJECCIONES (interjections)

Interjections are exclamations and sounds one make when speaking to express a certain reaction or emotion:

What are the parts of speech in Spanish?

You’re going to learn about this important grammar concept today! Are you ready? Great!

When I think of the parts of speech, it reminds me of the grocery store. You walk down the aisles grab a cart and push it down the aisles. Each item is categorized into groups based on their form and function. There is a section for food, pharmacy, office supplies, furniture, clothing, and more.

We categorize words in the same way based on their form and function. We call these categories the parts of speech.

There’s something important you need to know before we look at the parts of speech. Most words can function in more than one part of speech. I’ll show you what I mean. Look at the word bien in these sentences.

La comida salió bien. The food turned out good.

Here, bien is an adverb. It describes the verb.

El bien y el mal son opuestos. Good and evil are opposites.

Now, bien is a noun. It is the subject of the sentence.

The only way to tell what job a word is doing is to look at how it’s acting in a sentence.

Alright, let’s learn about the parts of speech.

The Eight Parts of Speech in Spanish

In Spanish, the parts of speech are las partes de la oración. What are the parts of speech in Spanish? Las ocho partes de la oracion son el sustantivo, el adjectivo, el pronombre, el verbo, el adverbio, la preposición, la conjunción y la interjección.

A great way to see the parts of speech is with tagging. Here is an example of color-coded tags where each word is tagged with the color of the part of speech.

¡ Ojo ! El hombre perdió todo porque era muy tonto en sus amistades .

Watch out! The man lost everything because he was foolish in his friendships.

I will show examples and tag them as we look at each part of speech.

But wait! Some people categorize words into eight parts of speech and others into nine parts of speech. Both are correct. Here, I categorize them into eight, but I will tell you about the extra category as well below.

A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea.

In Spanish a noun is el sustantivo. What is the definition of a noun in Spanish? Un sustantivo es una persona, un lugar, una cosa o un idea.

They are important because they do many jobs in a sentence (subjects, direct objects, object complements, and more).

Una garza caza en el agua . A heron hunts in the water.

Mi madre cuida a su hermana porque es buena enfermera . My mother takes care of her sister because she is a good nurse.

Most people have trouble with this part of speech because Spanish nouns have gender. When learning new words you need to know whether the noun is masculine or feminine.

They also show number. A noun can be singular (one) or plural (more than one).

Be careful not to get overwhelmed by this part of speech, since there are many different subcategories of nouns. We can categorize nouns into smaller groups.

Here are some subcategories of nouns: common nouns, proper nouns, collective nouns, and compound nouns.

Many categories have subcategories. If this is your first time learning about categories, ignore the subcategories for now and focus on the categories.

2. Adjectives

An adjective describes a noun or pronoun.

In Spanish adjective is el adjetivo. What is the definition of a noun in Spanish? Un adjetivo describe un sustantivo o pronombre.

Adjectives add details to language. Adjectives tell us what kind, how many, which, and whose.

La flor roja es hermosa . The flower is beautiful.

Adjectives agree with nouns and pronouns in gender and number (known as gender number agreement).

el libro interesante , los libros interesantes the interesting book, the interesting books

Libro is a singular noun. Interesante is a singular adjective. Libros is a plural noun. Interesantes is a plural adjective. The form of the adjective changes to match the gender and number of the noun.

Isn’t that a great way to see the difference using the color-coded tags?

The Nine Parts of Speech

Many people say articles are a subcategory of adjectives. They describe adjectives.

People who categorize words into nine parts of speech say articles are not a subcategory of adjectives and they make articles a category of their own. They still describe adjectives.

The articles identify the gender and number of the nouns. When you learn new words, it’s important to learn the definite article with a noun.

3. Pronouns

A pronoun replaces a noun to avoid repetition.

In Spanish a pronoun is el pronombre. What is the definition of a pronoun in Spanish? Un pronombre sustituye un sutantive para evitar la repetición.

Some people get confused with this part of speech because there are so many of these little words.

Here are a few subcategories of pronouns: personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, possessive pronouns. object pronouns, reflexive pronouns, relative pronouns, and more.

A verb expresses action or a state of being.

In Spanish, verb is el verbo. What is the definition of a verb in Spanish? Un verbo expresa una acción o estado de ser.

amar, ser, vivir

Shakira baila con ritmo. Shakira dances with rhythm. La sombra es oscuro. The shadow is dark.

Verbs are the nucleus of a sentence. In fact, a verb can make a complete sentence in Spanish because they change form to show the subject of the sentence. The subject can drop.

You can learn about action verbs, linking verbs, and helping verbs on the verb page here .

Verb tenses are described on that link.

An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb.

In Spanish, an adverb is el adverbio. What is the definition of a verb in Spanish? Un adverbio modifica un verbo, un adjectivo, o otro adverbio.

They add precision to description.

El joven corre furiosamente . The teen runs furiously . El batido es muy espeso. The smoothie is very thick.

6. Prepositions

Prepositions relate a noun or pronoun to another word.

In Spanish, a preposition is la preposición. What is the definition of a preposition in Spanish? Una preposición relaciona un sustantivo o pronombre con otra palabra.

Let’s look at some examples of prepositions in action.

a, con, de, en, por, para

Voy a la piscina. La pelota es hecho de goma. Pasé por tu casa. I’m going to the pool. The ball is made of rubber. I passed by your house.

See the list of the 22 prepositions. It’s a good idea to memorize them.

7. Conjunctions

Conjunctions connect things.

In Spanish, a conjunction is la conjunción. What is the definition of a conjunction in Spanish? Una conjunción une cosas.

They can connect words, phrases, and sentences.

La limonada con fresas y pepino es refrescante. Lemonade with strawberry and cucumber is refreshing.

The conjunction y connects the words fresas and pepino .

¿Quieres comer bien o picar algo ligero ? Do you want to eat well or snack light?

The conjunction o connects the phrases comer bien and picar algo ligero.

The two we just looked at (y and o) belong to a subcategory called coordinating conjunctions. There are others as well. The one we use most often is subordinating conjunctions. They are trickier because they create complex sentences.

8. Interjections

Interjections show strong emotion.

In Spanish, an interjection is la interjección. What is the definition of an interjection in Spanish? Una interjección es una palabra o frase que muestra fuerte emoción.

¡Guau! Wow !

Interjections are different from the other parts of speech. They stand alone and often have exclamation marks ¡Vale! Okay!

It’s time to see what we’ve learned today!

• We categorize words into groups based on their function and features. These groups are called the parts of speech. In Spanish they are called las partes de la oración.
• The eight parts of speech are noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, preposition, conjunction, and interjection.
• In Spanish, las ocho partes de la oración son sustantivo, pronombre, verbo, adverbio, adjetivo, preposición, conjunción, y interjección.

Great job you’ve learned the eight parts of speech in Spanish!

It’ll save you time and wasted effort, and it will bring you well-earned confidence.

I hope you enjoyed the conjugation exercises!

Intro To Spanish Parts of Speech

This lesson will give you an overview of the different parts of speech in the Spanish language -- parts of speech are types of words we use in sentences -- nouns, verbs , etc. When you learn Spanish it's necessary to know about the parts of speech so you can talk about sentences and learn the correct way to use them. While it's entirely possible to learn a lot of Spanish by simply memorizing phrases , if you really want to get good at Spanish, you'll learn the parts of speech and some of the rules for each of them.

Most of us take the parts of speech for granted when using our native language -- we and go with it. As you learn Spanish, however, you'll need to manually learn the rules for the nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc that you'll use in the sentences you'll make. If you happen to remember some of the English grammar you learned in school that will help you here. -- And by the way, there's nothing like learning a foreign language to make you better at writing and speaking English.

What follows in the rest of this lesson is a list of the Parts of Speech you'll use to learn Spanish along with some definitions, explanations, and examples. When you're ready for more information about one of these Parts of Speech, you'll find it in the appropriate lessons.

The noun is the part of a sentence that is a person, place, or thing. Nouns are masculine and feminine in the Spanish language. Like English, Spanish nouns can be plural or singular.

The verb is the action word in the sentence. It is the word that is doing something. Verbs have to agree with the person, whether first, second, or third -- And they also have to agree with the subject whether it's singular or plural. A transitive verb takes a direct object and does something to the object. With an intransitive verb the action doesn't affect something else.

Adjectives describe, or modify, nouns and pronouns. Adjectives answer the questions: Which?, What kind of?, and How many? In Spanish adjectives have to agree with the noun they describe in gender and number. This means plural nouns get plural adjectives, feminine nouns get feminine adjectives, and masculine nouns are described by masculine adjectives. Usually masculine adjectives end in o and feminine adjectives end in a. -- And plurals typically end in s. The adjective is normally located after the noun it describes -- this is the opposite of English.

Adverbs describe, or modify, verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs commonly answer the questions: How?, When?, or Where? A large part of the Spanish adverbs are formed by adding the suffix -mente to the end of adjective. Adverbs work differently from adjectives in that they don't change to agree in gender or number -- they stay the same.

Pronouns take the place of nouns. Pronouns are used when the noun to which they refer is known by the listener. Common pronouns in English are I, you, he, she, it, we, they, and you(plural). Most of the time, pronouns that would be the subject are omitted in Spanish -- these pronouns are understood by the form of the verb that is used. For example: I walk to the store is Camino a la tienda . It's not yo camino, just camino. But there are also many cases where the pronoun is used and necessary for the sentence to be understood.

• Prepositions

Prepositions connect words in a sentence and show a relationship between the words. The preposition a in Spanish is very popular and has many meanings in English. The dictionary defines a as: to, at, for, on, upon, in, into, by, and from. There are also prepositional phrases such as antes de meaning "before" and dentro de meaning "inside of".

There are three definite articles in English -- a, an, and the. In Spanish the definite articles are el, la, los, and las . As with adjectives, the definite articles agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. As for indefinite articles , in English they are a, an, some, and a few. And in Spanish the indefinite articles are un, una, unos, and unas . The indefinite articles also agree in number and gender with the nouns they modify.

• Conjunctions

A conjunction is a word that connects other words and phrases together. Here are some examples of conjunctions: unless ( a menos que ), as if ( como si ), although ( aunque ).

• Interjections

An interjection is an expression or exclamation that you usually see written with exclamation marks. English examples of interjections are: Oh!, Come On!, Ugh! -- And in Spanish some popular interjections are: ¡huy!, ¡vaya!, and ¡Que barbaridad! . Notice in the examples how Spanish uses an exclamation mark at the beginning as well as the end.

Parts of Speech in Spanish

Introduction to parts of speech.

Understanding the parts of speech is fundamental to mastering any language, including Spanish. Parts of speech refer to the different categories into which words can be classified based on their grammatical functions and roles within sentences. In Spanish, as in English, there are several key parts of speech that help convey meaning and structure sentences.

Nouns, or “sustantivos” in Spanish, are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. They can be concrete, such as “casa” (house) or “árbol” (tree), or abstract, such as “amor” (love) or “felicidad” (happiness). Nouns in Spanish have gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural), which affect the agreement of accompanying articles and adjectives.

– El gato negro (The black cat)- Las casas grandes (The big houses)

Verbs, or “verbos” in Spanish, are words that express actions, states, or occurrences. They are the core of a sentence and indicate what the subject is doing or experiencing. Verbs in Spanish are conjugated to match the subject, tense, and mood. They can be regular or irregular, and each tense has its own conjugation pattern.

– Yo hablo español. (I speak Spanish.)- Ella bailó en la fiesta. (She danced at the party.)

Adjectives, or “adjetivos” in Spanish, modify nouns by providing more information about their characteristics or qualities. They agree with the noun they modify in gender and number. Adjectives can come before or after the noun, depending on their placement and emphasis.

– Un libro interesante (An interesting book)- Dos perros pequeños (Two small dogs)

Adverbs, or “adverbios” in Spanish, modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They provide information about how, when, where, or to what extent an action or description occurs. Adverbs in Spanish often end in -mente, which is equivalent to the English -ly.

– Hablo español rápidamente. (I speak Spanish quickly.)- Ella camina lentamente. (She walks slowly.)

Pronouns, or “pronombres” in Spanish, are used to replace nouns to avoid repetition and provide clarity. They can refer to people or things and vary in form based on their grammatical function. Spanish pronouns include personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, and more.

– Yo te vi ayer. (I saw you yesterday.)- Estos son mis libros. Los compré hoy. (These are my books. I bought them today.)

Understanding the parts of speech is essential for building sentences and communicating effectively in Spanish. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns each play a vital role in conveying meaning and expressing ideas. By familiarizing yourself with the different parts of speech and their usage, you can enhance your Spanish language skills and become a more confident communicator.

Spanish Parts of Speech -->   -->

The name of a person, place, thing, or concept.

Some examples are:

• María (Mary, a proper name as opposed to a common noun)
• hombre (man)
• parque (park)
• libro (book)
• religión (religion)

Nouns in Spanish have gender and number; that is, they are either masculine or feminine, singular or plural.

• Libro - masculine
• religión - feminine
• libro - singular (one book)
• libros - plural (two or more books)

A word which is used in place of a noun and from which it takes its gender and number. An example is él (he) to replace the expression mi hijo (my son, masculine singular). Pronouns are divided into:

• personal pronouns [e.g., yo (I), ella (she)]
• demonstratives [e.g., éste (this one), ésa (that one)]
• possessives [e.g, el mío / la mía (mine)]
• relatives [e.g., que , quien , la que , el cual (that, who, which)]
• indefinites [e.g., alguien (someone), algo (something)]

Personal pronouns may serve as:

• the subject of a verb [ yo , tú , usted , etc.]
• the direct object of a verb [ me , te , lo , la , etc.]
• the indirect object of a verb [ me , te , le , etc.]
• reflexive [ me , te , se , etc.]
• the object of a preposition [ mí , ti , usted , etc.]

The part of speech which expresses an action or state in a variable form, according to the characteristics of the subject. There are several classes of verbs such as:

• active or transitive o [e.g., mover (to move) and bañar (to bathe) in Spanish require a direct object]
• intransitive [e.g., luchar (to fight) in Spanish normally does not have a direct object]
• copulative or linking [e.g., ser (to be)]
• impersonal [e.g., hay (there is/are)]
• helping or auxiliary [e.g., he {hablado} (I have {spoken}), habríamos {spoken} (we would have {studied})]

There are three conjugations of verbs: - ar [e.g., hablar, to speak], - er [e.g., comer, to eat], and - ir [e.g., vivir, to eat], each with typical sets of endings. The endings in Spanish indicate mood, for example indicative or subjunctive, and the tense [or time, such as present, past, or future] within that mood, and the person [first (i.e., I or we), second (i.e., you), or third (i.e., he/she or they)] and number [singular or plural].

The part of speech which modifies or changes the meaning of a verb, adjective, or another adverb. There are adverbs of:

• place [e.g., aquí (here), allí (there)]
• time [e.g., después (afterwards), pronto (soon)]
• manner [e.g., bien (well), rápidamente (quickly)]
• affirmation [e.g., sí (yes )]
• negation [e.g., no (no), nunca (never)]

Adverbs may appear in comparative, superlative [e.g., más (more/most), peor (worse/worst)], y diminutive [e.g., ahorita (now)] forms.

A word which is used with reference to a noun to indicate a quality or to determine or limit the noun. Accordingly, adjectives are divided into descriptive and limiting. Examples of descriptive adjectives are:

• inteligente (intelligent)
• pequeño/-a (small)

Limiting adjectives include:

• demonstratives [e.g., este (this), esa (that)
• numerals [ dos (two), cien (one hundred)]
• possessives [ mi (my), tu (your)]
• articles [ el / la / los / las (the), un / una (a/an), unos / unas (some)]

Since they modify nouns, adjectives may have various endings to agree with the noun in question according to whether it is masculine or feminine, singular or plural. Descriptive adjectives may also have:

• comparative/superlative forms [ bueno = good, mejor = better/best]
• absolute superlative forms [ fácil = easy, facilísimo = extremely easy]
• diminutive forms [ pequeño = small, pequeñito = very small, tiny]

An invariable part of speech which unites words, denoting a relationship which exists between them. Examples include:

• ante (before)
• bajo (below)
• contra (against)
• desde (from)
• en (in, at)
• entre (between, among)
• hacia (toward)
• hasta (until)
• por (for, by)
• según (according to)
• sin (without)
• sobre (over, upon)
• antes de (before)
• después de (after)
• encima de (on top of)
• debajo de (underneath)

A part of speech which includes exclamations which express reactions and changes in mental states such as ¡ah! (oh!), ¡ay! (ow!, ouch!), ¡bravo! (well done!), and ¡uf! (ugh!).

An invariable word which serves to link words or phrases. Examples include y (and), o (or), pero (but), cuando (when), and porque (because).

Conjunctions are often divided into two groups:

• coordinating conjunctions may be used to combine independent clauses (e.g., y , o , and pero );
• subordinating conjunctions (e.g. cuando and porque ) introduce a subordinate or dependent clause.

Examples of parts of speech within the context of a sentence:

(possessive) adjective - noun - verb - conjunction verb - adverb - preposition - (demonstrative) adjective - noun

• Mi hijo vive y trabaja aquí en esta ciudad. My son lives and works here in this city.

interjection - verb - adjective - conjunction - pronoun - verb - adjective - (article) noun

• ¡Oh! Es maravilloso cuando ella toca el violín. Oh! (It) is marvellous when she plays the violin.

Spanish Grammar Help

Me gusta aprender lenguajes. A ti te gusta aprender lenguajes? Ever wonder whether you’re using a direct or indirect object pronoun ? Struggling with the difference between “que,” “como,” and “cual”? Here we’re offering pages on prepositions, pronouns, participles, and all the other tricky Spanish grammar concepts you’ll need to master to speak Spanish like a pro! Check back with us soon for Spanish grammar help.

Direct and Indirect Objects

“The family cooks the dinner. / La familia cocina la cena.” Is there a direct or indirect object in this sentence? How can you tell? Learn more about the similarities and differences between direct and indirect objects here.

Interrogative Words

In English, you may ask a question such as “Does Jorge speak Spanish?” This question seems pretty straightforward; however, did you know that there are at least three different ways to ask this question in Spanish? You could say “¿Jorge habla español?” You could also say “¿Habla Jorge español?” Questions in Spanish can be asked in more specific and unique ways than questions in English, so make sure you read all about Spanish interrogative words.

Negative Words

In order to speak properly in Spanish, you’ll have to forget the English grammar rule that says double negatives are bad. In fact, double negatives are often used to express the “no” sentiment in Spanish. For example, in English, you may say, “No, I didn’t say anything.” However, in Spanish, the same sentence may be phrased, “No dije nada.” Be sure to read all about how to express negatives in Spanish.

Prepositions of Place

Prepositions in Spanish are used very similar to prepositions in English, except some of them have more than one meaning; that meaning depends on the context of the sentence. Some prepositions need “de” added, while others do not. You can learn the ins and outs of using prepositions in Spanish right here. We offer a comprehensive list of prepositions as well as their English translations and examples, all in one spot so you can learn all of the most common prepositions at once!

Personal Pronouns

Pronouns are used so that you don’t have to keep repeating the name of the object to which you’re referring. For example, you would not say, “That is my baseball, can you give me my baseball so I can put my baseball away?” You would probably say, “That is my baseball, can you give it to me so that I can put it away?” Here, you’re substituting the word “baseball” with the word “it.” Everyone knows what you are talking about, because you specified it early on in your sentence. Therefore, you can use the pronoun “it” to keep from sounding too redundant. The same goes in Spanish! Here, you’ll find a list of pronouns and specific directions on how to use them.

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership. For example, you don’t always say, “That is the baseball that belongs to me.” Instead, you would say, “That is my baseball,” or “That baseball is mine.” The same goes for Spanish! Here, you’ll find direct translations from English pronouns to Spanish pronouns, as well as a guide to using possessive pronouns effectively in Spanish.
