Write down what you think is a rule that could explain what makes a sentence grammatically correct or not.

Below I show you 12 basic grammar rules in Spanish.

Explanation:

1) Prefixes are always linked to the word above, that is to say: former president, former governor or ex-boyfriend. Never write them apart, except if they are two words as a former prime minister.

2) When you write a series of questions you can do it in two ways:

a -With comma between them and without capitalization in the initials: "¿por qué lo hizo? ¿se enfadó? ¿me lo dirá alguna vez?

b -No comma between them but capitalization in the initials: ¿Por qué lo hizo? ¿Se enfadó? ¿Me lo dirá alguna vez?

3) You should know the four ways to write why:

Por qué - It's to ask a question: "Por qué estás llorando?"

Porque - It is to formulate an explanation: «Le dijeron que vaya a la tienda porque su madre estaba allí».

Porqué - It is used as a noun: «Se fué sin decirme el porqué de su decisión».

Por que - It is used to replace terms such por lo / los que / el cual/la cual "Fueron varios motivos por que ella decidió alejarse de su familia"

4) The good use of capital letters is an obligation in Spanish. Always write them in the following cases:

-The first letter of a text.

-The first letter after a period.

-The divine names like the Most High or the Creator.

-The first letter of the title of a movie or a novel: "The Lord of the Flies", "The Divine Comedy", "The Tree of Life".

-The noble charges except for the cases in which they precede the proper name: King Juan Carlos I.

-The nicknames and nicknames: Saúl Álvarez, El Canelo.

5) If it is assumed that the serious words ending in 'n', 's' or vowel are not accentuated, why do you write "bíceps", "fórceps" or "récords"? When a serious word ends in a double consonant, the rule does not apply and retains the accent. In the first two cases because the singular and the plural are equal. "Records" is an exception.
