1. Definition of "English Grammar"
In the verbal system of English, like German and Romance languages, it
has undergone a similar evolution. They have created "composite forms of
perfect" to express the perfect aspect and "periphrastic forms" with the verb be
to express the progressive or continuous aspect. Another similarity is the
development of future forms from auxiliary verbs. An important difference
between English and other Germanic languages and romances is the weakening
of the subjunctive mood. Likewise, English, like German, Dutch or Romance
languages, has created genuine defined articles from demonstrative forms.
Differences between english grammar and spanish grammar
1. Nouns in English haven’t gender
This difference is one of the reasons why we say that English grammar is
easy. It doesn’t matter if you talk about a dog or an apple, in English we will say
"the / a dog" or "the / an apple", without stopping to think a lot. It’s very
complicated to learn the genre in another language but in English we will not have
that problem.
The only thing we should be careful with is that when we put a personal
pronoun to replace a noun. Keep in mind that "he / she" is only used for people
and, rarely, for animals. Everything else is "it".
2. Adjectives go before the noun
It’s not a difference that makes the language very difficult, except when
you have to place several adjectives. The one that describes a characteristic
more intrinsic to the noun is the one that goes closest, the one that expresses a
more general opinion, the farthest.

2. Although this is the general norm, it must be taken into account that
sometimes the adjectives don’t accompany the noun, but rather they go after the
verb. Some adjectives, such as afraid, ill, ready or sorry, only appear in this
position.
3. The denial is simple
And with this we don’t mean that it’s easy, but that it can only be denied
once. In Spanish, it’s normal to deny twice, but this rarely happens in English,
which forces us to mix negative and affirmative words, which can be confusing.
Example
 No cold beer left - there isn’t any cold beer left.
 I don’t want anything - I don´t want anything.
In addition, in English there are several prefixes that imply denial, such as
non-, un-, dis-, with them there is even a need to avoid the -no / not-.
4. The Saxon genitive
The Saxon genitive, which is the little that remains of the cases in modern
English, converts any noun into a possessive one. This in Spanish we usually do
them by putting a "de". Despite being a big difference, luckily it is not very difficult
to learn, example.
 This is Martha's brother - This is Marta's brother
 I'm staying at Paul's tomorrow after the concert - I'm staying at
Paul's house tomorrow after the concert.

3. 5. The subject is essential
This is because the verbs in English do not conjugate (well, hardly) and
therefore do not indicate the gender or number of the subject, so this information
is only provided by the subject. If we do not want to repeat, we must use a
personal pronoun. Example
 The subject must be always present in an English sentence. It is
compulsory!
6. And the order of the sentence is practically unalterable
This difference and the previous one are very related. As we said, the
grammar of English is very simple (although the students do not look like it). Let's
see, it does not have conjugations in verbs, nor gender, nor declensions... So,
how do you give meaning to sentences in English? Well, thanks to the order of
its elements. Thanks to an unchanging order we know, for example what is the
subject and what is the object in a sentence. Example
 The dog bit the child vs The child bit the dog
 What is not the same?
7. Capitalization and punctuation are used slightly differently
Finally, punctuation and capitalization are used in different ways in
Spanish and English. Naturally, they are subtle differences, but you have to take
them into account when writing. For example:
 The days of the week, months and languages are written in capital
letters in English.
 Admiration and question marks are only used at the end in English.

4.  In English, when putting something in quotation marks "" the
punctuation marks remain inside, however, in Spanish they are put
out
 Be careful with numbers in English, decimals are indicated with
period and hundreds with commas!
Classification
In the English language many words are used in more than one way. This
means that a word can function as different grammatical categories.
For example, in the sentence "I would like to drink" ("I would like a drink")
the word "drink" is a noun. But in the sentence "They drink too much" ("Drink too
much") the word "drink" is a verb. Then everything depends on the role of the
word in the sentence.
They are composed of:
 Nouns Pronouns
 Adjectives
 Verbs
 Adverbs
 Prepositions
 Conjunction
 Interjections

5. A noun is a word that names a person, a place or a thing.
Examples:
Sarah, lady, cat, New York, Canada, room, school, football,
reading.
(Sarah, lady, cat, New York, Canada, room, school, soccer,
reading.)
Prayers with examples:
La gente le gusta ir a la playa.
(People like to go to the beach.)
A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun. For example,
you could say, "Lisa is a nice girl." ("Lisa is a nice girl.")
Then you could replace the noun "Lisa" with the word "She" and
end with the following sentence: "She is a nice girl." ("She's a nice
girl.") "She" is a pronoun.
Examples:
I, he, it, we, we, them, us, mine, itself.
Prayers with examples:
I do not want to go with them.
(He does not want to accompany them.)
An adjective is a word that describes a person or a thing.
Examples:
Big, pretty, expensive, green, round, French, loud, quick, fat.
(Large, cute, expensive, green, round, French, noisy, fast, fat.)

6. Prayers with examples:
I have big blue eyes.
(He has big blue eyes.)
A verb is a word or a group of words that expresses an action or a
state.
Examples:
Go, jump, sleep, eat, think, be, change, become, drive, complete.
(Go, jump, sleep, eat, think, be, change, turn, drive, complete.)
Prayers with examples:
We had a nice lunch.
(We had a good lunch.)
Auxiliary verbs
Auxiliary verbs are verbs that are used with the main verb of the
sentence to express the action or state.
Main verb + auxiliary verb = complete idea
The main auxiliary verbs are:
be, am, is, are, was, were, do, did, have, have, had.
An adverb is a word that describes or gives more information about
a verb, an adjective, another adverb or even a complete sentence.
Adverbs usually answer the following questions:
¿Dónde?
Home.
(En casa.)
("I went home.")

7. ("Me fui a casa.")
¿Cuándo?
Yesterday.
(Ayer.)
("We met yesterday.")
("Nos conocimos ayer.")
¿Cómo?
Slowly.
(Lentamente.)
("The turtle moves slowly.")
("La tortuga se mueve lentamente.")
¿Con qué frecuencia?
Sometimes.
(A veces.)
A proposition is a word that is used before a noun or a pronoun to
connect it to another word in the sentence. It is normally used to
show location, direction, time, etc.
Examples:
On, in, at, by, under, above, beside, to, out, from, for.
Prayers with examples:
I sat on the floor.
(Me senté en el piso.)
Let's go into the house.
(Entremos en la casa.)
We will meet at four o'clock.
(Nos veremos a las cuatro.)
A conjunction is a word that links parts of a sentence.

8. Examples:
And, but, or, because, so.
(Y, pero, o, porque, entonces.)
Prayers with examples:
I want to come, but I can't.
(Quiero ir, pero no puedo.)
She is smart and beautiful.
(Ella es inteligente y hermosa.)
Would you like a cat or a dog?
(¿Te gustaría un gato o un perro?)
