Spanish Sentence Maker

Draft a good sentence in English and analyze it. Define the person or thing doing the action — that’s your subject. The action performed is your verb, followed by an object related to the action. Translate these words, conjugate them, and put them in proper gender and numeral forms. If that’s a bit too intimidating, use our Spanish sentence generator and make an example sentence to study and follow!

The basic structure of a Spanish sentence follows a subject-verb-object format, similar to English. Make sure there’s a proper agreement between subjects, verbs, and adjectives. Verbs should be conjugated to match the subject, and adjectives align with the noun's gender and number. Typically, an “-a” ending corresponds with a single feminine noun (“una chica alta” — “a tall girl”), while “-o” — with the masculine one (“un chico alto” — “a tall boy”). Plural form will look different, often ending in “-os”: “los niños altos” — “the tall children”. If you are not confident in your ability to form a Spanish sentence, add your words to our Spanish Sentence Maker and get full, properly-structured sentences.

When communicating in English, you will hear many terms and phrases borrowed from Spanish-speaking countries and communities. Do not blindly parrot what you hear! You must stay aware of the cultural and situational context the words were used in. Only feel free to repeat a particular phrase when you make sure it’s okay by asking a community member, researching it, or by examples of other people using it respectfully.

Phrases that are useful in everyday conversations can help build your basic Spanish skills. “Hola, ¿cómo estás?” — “Hello, how are you?” “Me llamo [x]!” — “My name is [x]!” “¿Dónde está el [x]?” — “Where is [x]?” A simple Spanish sentence structure looks like this: “La niña lee un libro en la biblioteca.” — “The girl (subject) reads (verb) a book (object) in the library.” “Tengo mucha hambre, ¡a comer!” — “I’m very hungry, let’s eat!”
