Spanish grammar is the set of rules that govern how words are put together to form sentences in the Spanish language. It includes topics such as noun declension, verb conjugation, and sentence structure.
Noun Declension
Nouns in Spanish are declined according to their gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). The gender of a noun is usually determined by its ending. For example, nouns ending in -o are usually masculine, while nouns ending in -a are usually feminine.

Verb Conjugation
Spanish verbs are conjugated according to person, number, tense, mood, and aspect. The person of a verb refers to who is performing the action of the verb. The number of a verb refers to whether the action is being performed by one person or more than one person. The tense of a verb refers to the time when the action is taking place. The mood of a verb refers to the speaker’s attitude towards the action. The aspect of a verb refers to whether the action is completed or in progress.
