Inparticular, the would-be visitor to a Spanish-speaking country will find thetools necessary to deal with common situations related to travel abroad. Thedifferent sections cover topics such as transportation, accommodation,eating and drinking, as well as sightseeing, and shopping. There are alsosections that cover a number of problems that may arise. Each section takesaccount of dialectic variation in Spanish by pointing out when a specificword is used in Spain (Sp.) or a particular Latin American country (Mex.,Arg., etc.). When appropriate, entries indicate whether the correspondingSpanish sentence is formal (for.) or informal (inf.).The book was designed to serve as a useful foundation rather than anexhaustive field manual. It is meant to be used for reference, study, andreview. The more you practice the essential structures included here, theeasier it will be for you to generate the questions and statements appropriateto your specific needs and circumstances. When you are communicatingwith someone, the other person is also trying to make sense of what you aresaying and drawing information not just from your words, but also fromcontext, tone of voice, and body language. When you need an answer,looking a person in the eye is generally more practical and more effectivethan reading from a book.To facilitate acquisition, the material included in the different sections ispresented in a logical sequence. As you go through the sentences, imagineyourself in the situations they suggest. In the “Eating & Drinking” section,for instance, you can go from finding a restaurant to asking for the checkafter ordering breakfast, lunch or dinner, and dessert. Since the material isnot cumulative, book sections can be studied according to need orpreference. You will note that certain structures, such as “I want . . .” and“where is . . . ,” appear frequently throughout the book. Besides being veryhandy, their repetition facilitates focusing on the many complementarywords and phrases. Thus, you can learn to produce a large number ofsentences and convey a wide range of information with minimum effort.Finally, while practice trumps theory, the Spanish Grammar Primerincluded here will help you make the most of the book. Besides vocabulary-building tips and verb conjugation tables, it contains information aboutnouns, adjectives, pronouns, and prepositions. However, many people willfind Dover’s Essential Spanish Grammar (ISBN 0-486-20780-3) helpful formastering the subtleties of the Spanish language. Likewise, 2,001 MostUseful Spanish Words (ISBN 0-486-47616-2), also published by Dover, is auseful complement for increasing your Spanish vocabulary further.A Note on Spanish DialectsAs with English, there are many regional dialects of Spanish. They mayvary in pronunciation, vocabulary, and syntax but they are all mutuallyintelligible.For instance, in the Castile region of Spain a “c” before an “e” or an “i”sounds like “th” in English and the letter “s” is pronounced like “sh.” Onthe other hand, people in the south of Spain and in Latin America, generallymake the letter “c” (before “e” or “i”), the letter “s,” and even the letter “z”all sound like the “s” in “soup.” Caribbean Spanish tends to drop a “d”between two vowels at the end of some words, as well as a final “s” so thatcansados (tired, m. pl.) becomes cansao. Likewise, in many SouthAmerican countries the word for cake is torta, whereas in Mexico it ispastel. In Latin America a computer is called una computadora while inSpain it is referred to as un ordenador. Nevertheless, a Spaniard, aMexican, a Chilean, and a Dominican can engage in conversation withoutimpediment.When Spanish is learned as a second language the choice of dialect candepend on personal interest and circumstance. For example, someonetraveling to Spain might prefer to become familiar with the Castiliandialect, while someone spending time in a Latin American country will pickup the local accent and lingo. The best investment for a beginner studyingstateside is to practice a “neutral” kind of Spanish: all the syllables in aword should be pronounced clearly, using the standard word-stress rules(see the grammar section). Once you know the basic system, a little practicemakes it easy to compensate for dialectical differences. Remember also thatthe most useful words, such as por favor and gracias, are the samethroughout the Spanish-speaking world.Unlike English — in which the same word may be written one way inBritain (colour, dialogue, emphasise, gaol) and another in the United States(color, dialog, emphasize, jail), all Spanish dialects use the same writtenstandard.Phonetic TranscriptionThe phonetic transcription of the Spanish words and phrases is provided asan aid to an approximately correct pronunciation in the absence of an audiomodel. However, the Spanish sound scheme is very regular andstraightforward; with some practice you should be able to bypass thephonetic transcription in most instances.Other than the International Phonetic Alphabet, which employs a specialset of characters, there is no standard for phonetic transcription. In order tofacilitate reading, the phonetic transcription in this book follows the rules ofEnglish pronunciation and spelling as closely as possible. For instance,vowels are short before a double consonant (as in “dress”); the letter “c” ishard before an “a” or an “o” (as in “car”), but soft before an “e” (as in“celery”); etc. The syllables that should be stressed are underlined.The phonetic transcription presented here corresponds to a “neutral”dialect of Spanish which, pronounced correctly, will be understood in anySpanish-speaking country. Phonetic transcription key:ah A as in father and drama.ay long A as in stay, weigh, and train.ch as in chat, chess, and cheese.ee long E as in feet and eel.eh, ess short E as in pet, let, less, and rest.ehr sounds like air.g hard G as in gap, get, and geese.1h H as in ham, heel, and hot.I, i long I as in the first person pronoun.k hard C as in cat, cot, and cool, or K as inking.ny as in barnyard and canyon.oh long O as in hope, open, and cone.oo OO as in moon and soon.oy as in boy, soy, and toy.s as in sat, set, or soft C as in cellar andcentral.w as in well and wet.y as in yard and yet.Spanish PronunciationVowelsSpanish only has five vowel sounds (English has over 15!) whichcorrespond to the five vowel letters, regardless of their position in a word.There are no silent vowels in Spanish. The five vowel sounds in Spanishare:a as in drama Habla a la casa blanca. Call the White House.e as in bet Él es el rebelde René He is the rebel RenéPérez. Pérez.i as in deep Si, viví sin ti. Yes, I lived without you.o as in coat Los locos no son tontos. Crazy people aren’t dumb.u as in loopmedio rojo/poco hecho. (Sp.)

It is a helpful resource for a beginner and can serve as aquick reference for a more advanced speaker.Abstract grammar can be very helpful, but the best way to integratelanguage rules will always be through frequent real-life use. Listen to asmuch Spanish as you can (music, movies, and television are goodresources), communicate in Spanish as often as you can, using the wordsand phrases in this book, and soon you won’t need to think about thegrammar at all.English and Spanish CognatesCognates are words that derive from a common ancestor language. Mostwords in Spanish and many words in English come from Latin or Greek. Asa result, there are a lot of words in English that are cognates of words inSpanish; most are easily recognizable. Since changes are slight andpredictable, you can quickly expand your vocabulary in Spanish by takingnote of the following:1. Some words are the same in both languages (except that theirpronunciation may vary, see below): color, crisis, drama, error,general, horror, probable, tropical, . . .2. Some words add an extra vowel to the English word: cliente, evidente,ignorante, importante, parte, artista, pianista, problema, programa,contacto, perfecto, líquido, . . . 43. Many words ending in -ty in English end in -tad or -dad in Spanish:facultad, libertad, curiosidad, sociedad, eternidad, capacidad,realidad, claridad, . . .4. Many words ending in -y in English end in -ía, -ia, or -io (dependingon gender, see below): compañía, geografía, historia, farmacia,diccionario, ordinario, . . . 55. Words that end in -tion in English generally end in -ción in Spanish:nación, administración, acción, fricción, sección, emo-ción ,combinación, contribución, . . .6. Words that end in -ous in English often end in -oso in Spanish:generoso, famoso, precioso, delicioso, tedioso, contagioso, curioso,escandaloso, religioso, . . .Gender, Number, and AgreementIn Spanish, most nouns are gendered: silla (chair) and mesa (table) arefeminine while escritorio (desk) and sombrero (hat) are masculine.However, not all feminine nouns end in -a, nor do all masculine nouns endin -o: carne (meat), flor (flower), canción (song), and mano (hand) arefeminine, while sobre (envelope), calor (heat), camión (bus), and clima(weather) are masculine. In some cases, the gender of a noun will dependon the object to which it applies: cantante (singer) can be either feminine ormasculine. Likewise, orden (order) is feminine when it refers to the orderissued by an authority and masculine when it refers to the order of things.The best way to figure out whether a noun is masculine or feminine is tolook at its corresponding definite (the) or indefinite (a/an/some) article:It is important to be aware of noun gender because in Spanish, articles andadjectives belonging to a noun must agree in gender with the noun.Esa flor azul es muy bonita.6 That blue flower is very pretty.María es una cantante muytalentosa.María is a very talented singer.Pedro es un cantante muy Pedro is a very talented singer.talentoso.Likewise, nouns, adjectives, and articles must agree in number. InSpanish, plurality is expressed by adding an -s to words that end in a vowel,and -es to nouns that end in a consonant:Las flores azules son mispreferidas.Blue flowers are my favorite.Pedro y María son unos cantantesmuy buenos.7Pedro and María are very goodsingers.Possessive AdjectivesIn Spanish possession is generally indicated by a set of adjectives whichmust agree in gender and number with the noun they describe, thepossessed object.my mi/misyour tu/tusyour (for.) su/sushisherour nuestro/nuestra/nuestros/nuestrasyour (pl.) vuestro/vuestra/vuestros/vuestras(Sp.)su/sus (L. Am.)their su/susMi casa es su casa. My house is your house. (for). 8Su pelo es rubio y sus ojos sonverdes.His/her hair is blond and his/hereyes are green.9Tenemos nuestro dinero y nuestrasmaletas.10We have our money and oursuitcases.Pedro y Juan están listos para suviaje.Pedro and Juan are ready fortheir trip.DiminutivesDiminutives are widely used in Spanish, particularly in Latin AmericanSpanish. A diminutive can signify that something is smaller, but it can alsoserve to express endearment, to intensify an idea, or as a rhetorical devicethat “softens” and embellishes whatever is being said. Diminutives areparticles that attach at the end of words either after the final consonant or byreplacing the final vowel. There are a number of diminutive suffixes inSpanish, but the most common is -ito(s)/-ita(s). Solo quiero un pedacito muy pequeñito de pastel. I only want a tiny little piece of cake.Me llamo Juan, pero mis amigos me llaman Juanito. My name is John, but my friends call me Johnny.Vivo en una casita muy linda con mis hijitas y mis perritos. I live in a very cute little house with my dear little daughters and my doggies.PronounsPronouns in Spanish function mostly as they do in English; they are used toreplace the subject or the objects in a sentence to improve speech flow.Since they are an essential part of everyday speech, it is important to knowa few things about personal pronouns in Spanish.TABLE NOTE 1. In Spanish a verb’s conjugation generally corresponds toa specific subject (see VERB CONJUGATION CHARTS section beginningon p. 108), therefore subject pronouns can be, and often are, omitted. Notethat Spanish does not have an equivalent of the subjectFui a un club nocturno. I went to a nightclub.The semi-consonant y is pronounced like i [ee] when used as aconjunction: Pedro y Maria (Pedro and María); its sound softens next to avowel (as in yellow): Juan y yo somos muy buenos amigos (Juan and I arevery good friends).ConsonantsSpanish has basically the same consonant sounds as English. However,there are a few particulars to keep in mind:b and v are very often pronounced the same way, as in “bee.”c (soft), s, and z vary in pronunciation in some Spanish dialects.However, in all but the rarest cases, they can all be pronounced like thes in “soft” without risk of confusion.g is hard as in good before a, o, and u, but soft as in horse before e or i.gu is used before e and i to represent a hard g sound as in good (note thathere the u does not function as a vowel; gu is a digraph in which twoletters represent a single sound as in the).h is always mute as in herbs.j is pronounced like the h in horse.ll is always pronounced as the y in yellow.ñ represents a particular sound which resembles the ny combinationfound in canyon.qu is used before e and i to represent a hard c sound as in cat (see guabove).r at the beginning of a word is trilled.rr represents a trill in the middle of a word.Stress and written accentsSpanish words tend to have two or more syllables; when they arepronounced one syllable always sounds a little bit louder than the others.The stressed syllable is either the last, the penultimate (most often), or theantepenultimate syllable (least often). Word stress in Spanish is determinedby two simple rules:1. Words that end in a vowel, n, or s are generally pronounced stressingthe next to last syllable: Ventana (window), barco (boat), palabras(words), tú cantas (you sing), ellos comen (they eat)2. Words which end in a consonant other than n or s are generallystressed on the last syllable: papel (paper), feliz (happy), actitud(attitude), cantar (to sing), comer (to eat)Written accent marks are used when a word’s pronunciation is at oddswith these rules. In other words, accent marks indicate a stress where youwouldn’t normally expect it.Thus, words which end in a vowel, n, or s but require the stress to fall onthe last syllable need a written accent mark to “drag” the sound forward: ciempiés (centipede), canción (song), el cantó (he sang),2 yo com (I ate)Conversely, words that need the stress to fall on the next to last syllablebut end in a consonant other than n or s need a written accent mark to“drag” the sound backward: lápiz (pencil), árbol (tree), azúcar (sugar),carácter (character) Finally, words that need the stress on the antepenultimate syllable alwayshave a written accent: murciélago (bat)3, círculo (circle), lágrima (eye tear), cántalo (sing it)NUMBERSzero cero seh-rohone uno oo-nohtwo dos dohssthree tres trehssfour cuatro kwah-trohfive cinco seen-kohsix seis sayssseven siete see-eh-teheight ocho oh-chohnine nueve nweh-vehten diez dee-esseleven once ohn-sehtwelve doce doh-sehthirteen trece treh-sehfourteen catorce kah-tor-sehfifteen quince keen-sehsixteen dieciseis dee-eh-see-sayssseventeen diecisiete dee-eh-see-see-eh-teheighteen dieciocho dee-eh-see-oh-chohnineteen diecinueve dee-eh-see-nweh-vehtwenty veinte vayn-tehtwenty-one veintiuno vayn-tee-oo-nohwenty-two veintidós vayn-tee-dohssthirty treinta trayn-tahthirty-one treinta y uno trayn-tah ee oo-nohthirty-two treinta y dos trayn-tah ee dohssforty cuarenta kwah-ren-tahfifty cincuenta seen-kwen-tahsixty sesenta seh-sen-tahseventy setenta seh-ten-taheighty ochenta oh-chen-tahninety noventa noh-ven-tahone hundred cien see-enone hundred andoneciento uno see-en-toh oo-nohone hundred andtwociento dos see-en-toh dohsstwo hundred doscientos dohss-see-en-tohssthree hundred trescientos trehss-see-en-tohssfour hundred cuatrocientos kwah-troh-see-en-tohssfive hundred quinientos kee-nee-en-tohsssix hundred seiscientos sayss-see-en-tohssseven hundred setecientos seh-teh-see-en-tohsseight hundred ochocientos oh-choh-see-en-tohssnine hundred novecientos noh-veh-see-en-tohssone thousand mil meeltwo thousand dos mil dohss-meelone hundredthousandcien mil see-en meelmillion millón mee-yohntwo million dos millones dohss mee-yoh-ness1.I need to add up these numbers.

Ahss-tah prohn-toh47.pronoun “it:”Está lloviendo. It is raining. ¿Quién era? Who was it?TABLE NOTE 2. Usted (Ud.) is a more formal way of addressing a secondperson; it is used to address people of a superior rank (elders, bosses,officials, etc.) and with new acquaintances. Formal address uses the verbforms and pronouns of the third person as a way of setting a respectfuldistance between speaker and addressee (see VERB CONJUGATIONCHARTS section beginning on p. 108). Compare the following sentences:Formal: ¿Cómo está (usted)? How are you?No quiero molestarlo. I don’t want to botheryou.Informal: ¿Cómo estás (tú)? How are you?No quiero molestarte. I don’t want to botheryou.Usted is used systematically in Latin America where it is consideredpolite, but only sporadically in Spain.TABLE NOTE 3. Vosotros/as and Ustedes are used to address a group(some English dialects use “you all” or “y’all” for the same purpose).Vosotros/as has its own set of verb forms and pronouns, while ustedes usesthose of the third person plural (see VERB CONJUGATION CHARTSsection beginning on p. 108). Although ustedes is the plural form of usted,no formality is necessarily implied. Vosotros/as is only used in Spain.TABLE NOTE 4. Object pronouns can precede an active verb or beattached at the end of an infinitive, a gerund, or an affirmative command(see VERB section beginning on p. 112):Quiero comer una manzana. > La quiero comer. = Quierocomerla.I want to eat an apple. > I want to eat it.Estoy comiendo una manzana. > La estoy comiendo. =Estoy comiéndola.I am eating an apple. > I am eating it.¡Come la manzana! > ¡Cómela! but ¡No comas la manzana! >¡No la comas!Eat the apple. > Eat it. Don’t eat the apple. >Don’t eat it.Direct objects can appear in a sentence as either a noun or a pronoun butnot both. However, indirect object pronouns must be used whether or notthe indirect object noun appears in the sentence:Pedro me da dinero (a mí). Pedro gives money to me.Juan le da flores (a María). Juan gives flowers toMaría.When using two object pronouns, the indirect object pronoun alwayscomes first: Pedro me lo da. Pedro gives it to me. When combined with the direct object pronouns lo, la, los, or las, theindirect object pronoun le changes to se:Juan se las da (a María). Juan gives them to her (toMaría).TABLE NOTE 5. As in English, reflexive pronouns are used to “reflect”or return the action expressed by the verb back upon the subject:Me veo en el espejo. I see myself in themirror.Maria se viste. María dresses (herself).Common reflexive actions include getting up (levantarse), washing(lavarse) or bathing (bañarse), sitting (sentarse), lying down (acostarse),and falling asleep (dormirse). However, as long as it makes sense, any verbcan be made to describe a reflexive action by adding a reflexive pronoun.Sometimes reflexivity is added for emphasis or precision. Compare thefollowing:romper to break Rompiste laventana.You broke the window.romperse to break Te rompiste lapierna.You broke your leg.dormir to sleep Juan estádurmiendo.Juan is sleeping.dormirse to fall asleep Juan estádurmiéndose.Juan is falling asleep.ir to go Vamos al cine. Let’s go to the movies.irse to leave, to goawayVámonos al cine. Let’s leave for themovies.Note that reflexive pronouns follow similar positioning rules as objectpronouns. TABLE NOTE 6. In Spanish the pronoun se is very often used to express apassive or an impersonal action in which the object may assume thefunction of the subject (which creates a reflexive-like expression):En Mexico se habla español. Spanish is spoken in Mexico. /People speak Spanish in Mexico.No se debe desperdiciar agua. Water mustn’t be wasted. / Onemustn’t waste water.NegativityIn a negative sentence, a negative word must come before the verb and anypreceding pronouns:No te quiero pero nunca te lo habíadicho.I do not love you but I had nevertold you.Spanish actually requires double, and even triple negatives. Negativitymust be expressed throughout the sentence:Nunca has querido a nadie. You have never loved anyone.Nadie quiere ir nunca a ningúnlado conmigo.No one ever wants to goanywhere with me.Verbs, Tenses, and MoodsSer vs. EstarEnglish translates both the verb ser and the verb estar as “to be.” However,in Spanish they have very different meanings. Ser is used to talk aboutessences (aspects that are perceived as being inherent to or definitive of thesubject) and about time. Estar is used to talk about states (aspects orconditions that are merely circumstantial to the subject) and about location(space). Compare the following sentences:Pedro es un tipo simpático perohoy está enojado.Pedro is a nice guy but today be isangry.Son las dos y Maria todavía estádormida.11It is two o’clock and María is stillasleep.La casa que está en esa colina esamarilla.The house that is on that hill isyellow.La fiesta fue en la casa que estáen venta.12The party was at the house that isfor sale.The verb estar is used in combination with a gerund to form progressivetenses:Estoy escribiendo en la computadora. I am writing on the computer.Estábamos pensando en llamarte. We were thinking aboutcalling you.Verbs like gustarThe verb gustar is generally, and accurately, translated as “to like”:A Juan le gustan los postres. Juan likes desserts.In Spanish, however, Juan is not the subject of the verb gustan but itsindirect object, while los postres functions as both subject and direct object.Note that the verb agrees with los postres and that le agrees with Juan.Therefore, a more literal translation would be: “Desserts are pleasing toJuan.” There are a number of verbs that function like gustar. Consider thefollowing examples:Maria le gusta a Pedro.13 Pedro likes María. (lit. María ispleasing to Pedro.)(A Ana y a Luis) No les interesa laciencia.14Science doesn’t interest them(Ana and Luis).(A mi) Me preocupa llegar tarde ami cita.Being late for my appointmentworries me.Other common verbs that function like gustar include encantar (to reallylike), importar (to matter), aburrir (to bore), quedar (to have left), faltar (tolack), and doler (to hurt). It is interesting to note that this type of verbgenerally expresses subjective perceptions and is used to talk about thingsthe subject finds pleasing, boring, important, or painful.Preterit vs. ImperfectThe preterit tense is used when a past action is considered singular anddefinitely concluded:Pasé un mes en Madrid el año pasado. I spent a month in Madridlast year.Fue entonces cuando conocí a Juan. It was then that I met Juan.The imperfect tense is used for recurring actions in the past or actionswhich happened over an indefinite period of time in the past:Antes, iba a Madrid cada año. Before, I used to go to Madridevery year.En esa época, Juan estudiaba leyes. At the time, Juan studied (wasstudying) law.The preterit and the imperfect are often combined in a sentence toemphasize certain actions (preterit) over others that provide context or serveas backdrop (imperfect):Decidi comer mientras te esperaba. I decided to eat lunch while Iwaited (was waiting) for you.Llovía cuando llegó el avión. It was raining when the planearrived.Subjunctive moodIn Spanish, the subjunctive mood is used to express possibility, uncertainty,and empathy. When speaking about actions that happen in the present,happened in the past, or will happen in the future, the indicative mood isused. For talking about actions which may (or may not) happen, or may (ormay not) have happened, the subjunctive mood is used. In general, thesubjunctive is used to talk about situations that are beyond the control of asentence’s primary subject. For instance, we may say that it is important,necessary even, for drivers to come to a full stop at a stop sign which,however, does not guarantee that they will.Likewise, even if Juan wantedPedro to lend him money, Pedro might have refused. Finally, a person mayfeel sorry about another’s tragedy, but be unable to do anything to change it.Consider the following examples: Es posible que vaya a Mexico en verano.15 It is possible that I will go to Mexico in the summer. Es importante (necesario) que los conductores respeten las señales detránsito.It is important (necessary) that drivers respect traffic signals. Juan quería que Pedro le prestara dinero.16 Juan wanted Pedro to lend him money.Siento que hayas perdido tu vuelo. I am sorry that you (have) missed your flight. In Spanish pensar (to think) and creer (to believe) express certainty onthe part of the primary subject. Therefore, the subjunctive is unnecessary.However, lack of belief does not rule out possibility altogether; thereforethe subjunctive is appropriate. Compare the following sentences: Maria cree (piensa) que existen los fantasmas, pero yo no pienso (creo)que existan.María believes (thinks) ghosts exist, but I don’t think (believe) that they do. When a single subject is involved in the action there is no need tointroduce a subjunctive clause; the verb in the infinitive is used in the mainclause instead. Compare the following sentences:Quiero que (tú) aprendas español. I want you to learn SpanishQuiero aprender español. I want to learn Spanish.Commands and requestsAffirmativecommandsNegative commandsInformalcommandshabla (talk) no hables (don’t talk)come (eat) no comas (don’t eat)siéntate (sit down) no te sientes (don’t sit down)Formalcommands(requests)hable (talk) no hable (don’t talk)coma (eat) no coma (don’t eat)siéntese (sit down) no se siente (don’t sit down)Commands can be affirmative or negative. In Spanish they can also beformal or informal. Informal commands are directed at someone whom thespeaker would address as “tú” (a child, a family member, a good friend,etc.). On the other hand, formal commands are directed toward someonewho would be addressed as “usted” such as an elder, a teacher, an officer,the president, a new acquaintance, etc. (see PRONOUNS section beginningon p. 105).Note that formal commands use subjunctive verb forms as if implying thepossibility of refusal on the part of the addressee (see VERBCONJUGATION CHARTS beginning on p. 108). In that sense, formalaffirmative commands are more like requests. Likewise, since there is noguarantee that a negative command will be carried out, subjunctive formsare also used.Commands and requests can also be addressed to a group:Affirmativecommands Negative commandsNosotroscommandshablemos (let’s talk) no hablemos (let’s not talk)comamos (let’s eat) no comamos (let’s not eat)sentémonos (let’s sitdown)‡no nos sentemos (let’s not sitdown)Vosotroscommandshablad (talk) no habléis (don’t talk)comed (eat) no comáis (don’t eat)sentaos (sit down)* no os sentéis (don’t sit down)Ustedescommandshablen (talk) no hablen (don’t talk)coman (eat) no coman (don’t eat)siéntense (sit down) no se sienten (don’t sit down)‡ Note the dropping of the “s” in reflexive-verb nosotros commands.* Note the dropping of the “d” in reflexive-verb vosotros commands.PrepositionsPrepositions in any language can seem arbitrary — in English people canride in a car or on a bus. However, there are a few general guidelines forusing the most common prepositions in Spanish: a (to) conveys the sense of going toward something. Actions such as goingsomewhere, beginning or learning something, and giving something tosomeone use the preposition a: Vamos a la escuela para empezar a aprender a hablar español.Let’s go to school in order to begin learning to speak Spanish.de (of, from) conveys the sense of coming or stemming from somewhere.The preposition de can express provenance, origin, material, andbelonging: La madera de la mesa demadera de Juan viene de la selva de Guatemala.The wood that Juan’s wooden table is made of comes from the jungle ofGuatemala. en (in, on, at) expresses location in general: En la universidad, los libros están en repisas en la biblioteca. At the university, the books are on shelves in the library. con (with) expresses addition, instrumentality, and accompaniment: Me gusta comer fresas con crema con una cuchara con mis amigos. I like to eat strawberries with cream with a spoon with my friends. por (for, because of, around, through, by) indicates the cause or the reasonbehind an action, as well as motion, passage, means, and exchange. Vamos a hacer un viaje por barco por el Caribe por tres semanas; paguémil dólares por él.We’re going on a trip around the Caribbean by boat for three weeks; I paid$1,000 dollars for it.para (for, to, in order to, by) specifies the recipient or the purpose of anaction, as well as a direction, a destination, or a deadline. El regalo para mi mamá estará listo para mañana; es una caja para guardarsus joyas.The present for my mom will be ready by tomorrow; it’s a box for storingher jewelry. The use of prepositions in English doesn’t always match Spanish use. Insome cases, English needs a preposition where Spanish does not:Juan se enamoró de Maria. Juan fell in love with María.Puedes contar con nosotros. You can count on us.Estoy buscando algo especial. I’m looking for something special.In Spanish a preposition can never be placed at the end of a phrase.IndexAaccidentsaccommodationsadjectivesairlineallergiesanimalsSee pets.amusement parkanatomyantique shoppingautomobileaccidentsdirectionsparkingrentalsrepairsservice stationsBbaggagebankingbasicsbeveragesbicyclesbirthdaysbody partsbooksbreakfastbusbusiness termsCcarsSee automobiles.celebrationscheesechildren’s activitiesclothingsizescolloquialismscolorscommunicationscomputerse-mailfaxesInternetphotocopiespost officetelephonesWi-Ficomputersconcertsconsonantscooking methodsSee also dining, food.Ddate and timedatingdaysdentistdescriptions of peopledessertsdiet (low-calorie)difficultiesdiminutivesdiningcheesecooking methodsdessertsegg dishesfishfruitsmealsmeatsnutspoultrysaladsseafoodsoupssweetsvegetablesvegetariandinnerdirectionsdoctorsdrinkbeerwinedrivingaccidentscar rentalsdirectionsparkingrepairsservice stationsEegg dishese-mailemergenciesentertainmentconcertsmoviesmuseumsnightclubssportstheatreenvironmentexclamationsexerciseFfamily relationshipsfaxesfish courseflirtingfoodallergiesshoppingSee also dining.frequently used phrasesfruitsGgas stationgeneral information:business termscelebrationsdaysdirectionsholidaysmonthsreligious servicesseasonstimeweathergrammargreetingsHhealth careaccidentsallergiesanatomy body partsdentistdoctorshospitalillnessopticianpharmacyholidayshospitalSee also medical care.hotelsIillnessInternetintroductionsirregular verbsJjewelryLlaundryleisure activitieslocal transportationlove and relationshipsluggageMmealsmeatsmedical careaccidentsallergiesanatomybody partsdentistdoctorshospitalillnessopticianmedical care (continued) pharmacymenumoneyexchangemonthsmoviesmuseumsNnegativesnightclubsnumbersnutsOopticianPparkingpayment methodspetspharmacyphotocopiesphysical appearancepossessive adjectivespost officepoultryprepositionspronounspronunciation guideRrecreationconcertsmoviesmuseumsnightclubssportstheatrerecyclingrelaxationreligious servicesrepair servicesautomobilerestaurantsproblemsrestroomSsaladsseafoodseasonsservice stationsshoesshoppingantique shoppingbooksclothingfoodhardware storejewelryoffice suppliesshoessouvenirssupermarketsightseeingslangsmall talksocial interactionssoupssouvenirssportsstoressubwaysweetsTtaxistelephonestemperaturetheatreticketstimetippingtire pressuretrain servicetransportationtravel, planningairline travelautomobile travelshipboard traveltrain serviceVvegetablesverbsirregularvowelsWweatherweek, days ofWi-FiwineA CATALOG OF SELECTEDDOVER BOOKS IN ALLFIELDS OF INTERESTA CATALOG OF SELECTEDDOVER BOOKS IN ALLFIELDS OF INTEREST100 BEST-LOVED POEMS, Edited by Philip Smith. “The PassionateShepherd to His Love,” “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” “Death,be not proud,” “The Raven,” “The Road Not Taken,” plus works by Blake,Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, Keats, many others. 96pp. x 8¼.0-486-28553-7100 SMALL HOUSES OF THE THIRTIES, Brown-Blodgett Company.Exterior photographs and floor plans for 100 charming structures.Illustrations of models accompanied by descriptions of interiors, colorschemes, closet space, and other amenities. 200 illustrations. 112pp. 8 ×11. 0-486-44131-81000 TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY HOUSES: With Illustrations and FloorPlans, Herbert C.

Forexample, agua (water) will be transcripted as “ah-wah.”2 Note the difference with yo canto (I sing): a change in stress cansignificantly change the meaning of a word or even a whole sentence.3 Repeating the word murciélago out loud is a good way to practicepronunciation: it has all five vowel sounds and distinctive stress.4 Please don’t make the error,often parodied in movies, of thinking thatadding an “o” at the end of every word in a sentence makes it sound likeSpanish; native Spanish speakers will likely consider it rude.5 In a few cases, cognates don’t have exactly the same meaning in Spanishas they do in English: policía means “police” in Spanish; policy should betranslated as política.6 Adjectives that end in -e or a consonant don’t change on account ofgender: La casa verde The green house El sombrero verde The green hat7 When there are both feminine and masculine individuals or objects in agroup, masculine adjectives and articles are used.8 On formal address see the PRONOUNS section beginning on p. 105.9 In Spanish the gender of the possessor is not expressed by the possessiveadjective. Gender information would be supplied by context or through analternative structure such as: El pelo de Maria es rubio y sus ojos son verdes(María’s hair is blond and her eyes are green).10 Of all the possessive adjectives, only the first person plural(nuestros/as) and the second person plural (vuestros/as) that is used in Spain(See PRONOUNS section beginning on p. 105) express gender byswitching between “o” and “a” at the end.11 States can be permanent. In Spanish, death is considered a state: Lasplantas de mi casa están muertas (My house plants are dead).12 Since events involve a lot more than their location, the verb ser is usedto talk about parties and ceremonies in general: la boda sera en la catedral(The wedding will be in the cathedral).13 In Spanish object nouns can precede the verb; the preposition “a” isused to avoid confusion when two possible agents are involved (i.e., Marymight be the one who likes Pedro).14 The indirect-object pronoun is necessary, but the indirect object itselfmay be omitted or included to add precision to the sentence.15 A subjunctive clause depends, at least implicitly, on an indicativestatement; they are linked by a conjunctive element, most often “que.” Inother words, possibility must always be grounded in reality.16 Generally, if the verb in the main clause is in the present tense, the verbin the subjunctive clause will also be in the present. Likewise, a past-tenseverb in the main clause calls for the past tense in the subjunctive clause.Title PageCopyright PageTable of ContentsIntroductionNUMBERSCOLORSMEETING & GREETINGBASIC COURTESYHOW DO YOU SAY . . . ?THE BASICSPERSONAL PORTRAITS & EMOTIONSDATE & TIMECELEBRATIONSTHE WEATHERGETTING THEREGETTING ORIENTEDGETTING AROUNDA PLACE TO STAYEATING & DRINKINGKEEPING IN TOUCHRELIGIOUS SERVICESCULTURE & ENTERTAINMENTMONEY & SHOPPINGREST & RELAXATIONCOMPUTERS & INTERNETBUSINESS TRAVELTHE ENVIRONMENTSPORTS & EXERCISEHEALTH & WELLNESSCAR TROUBLEEMERGENCIESFLIRTINGFAMILY, CHILDREN & PETSA LITTLE SLANGSpanish Grammar PrimerEnglish and Spanish CognatesGender, Number, and AgreementPossessive AdjectivesDiminutivesPronounsNegativityVerbs, Tenses, and MoodsPrepositionsIndexA CATALOG OF SELECTED DOVER BOOKS IN ALL FIELDS OF INTERESTA CATALOG OF SELECTED DOVER BOOKS IN ALL FIELDS OF INTERESTSee you tomorrow.
