Spanish Sentences and Clauses

Explore Sentence & Clauses

Once you know the individual parts of speech, the next step is joining them into natural sentences. This section covers how Spanish orders the words in a sentence, the conjunctions that link ideas and clauses, and the si clauses used to build conditional sentences.

Conjunctions - the coordinating and subordinating words that connect ideas, and which ones trigger the subjunctive.

Conditional sentences (si clauses) - the "if ... then" patterns, from real conditions to the hypothetical and the impossible.

Word order and sentence construction - how Spanish arranges subject, verb and object, and where it differs from English.
