    Like in English, yes/no questions in Spanish are formed by switching

    the position of accountable and verb (if the accountable is explicit). Clashing English, Spanish uses a

    reversed catechism mark (?) at the alpha of a question:

    become

    For additional blazon of questions Spanish uses the afterward catechism words (note that all of them accept an emphasis in the word):

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

?Como...? or ?Que...?	How...? or What...?
?Cuando...?	When...?
?Cuanto...?	How much...?
?Cuantos...?	How many...?
?Donde...?	Where...?
?Por que...?	Why...?
?Quien...?	Who...? (singular)
?Quienes...?	Who...? (plural)

    Here are some Spanish sentences area specific catechism words are used:

    

    

    

    

    

?Como te llamas?	What is your name? (Literally: How do you alarm yourself?)
?Cuantos anos tienes?	How old are you? (Literally: How some years do you have?)
?Donde esta el aeropuerto?	Where is the airport?

    Questions can aswell be airish aural a sentence:

    

    

    

    

Y tu, ?cuantos anos tienes?	How old are you? (Literally: And you, how some years do you have?)
Entonces, ?por que no puedo jugar con el?	So, why deceit I play with him?

    Like English, the Spanish careful adjectives alter depending on the being they are apropos to. Clashing English, the careful commodity aswell changes depending on the amount of items that one possesses (for example: mi libro = my book , mis libros = my book s). It can aswell change depending on the gender of the account (for example: nuestro perro = our dog, nuestra address = our house).

    The afterward table summarizes all Spanish careful adjectives:

    Spanish uses three hardly altered constructions for comparisons of equality. One for comparing verbs,

    one for comparing nouns and one for comparing adjectives/adverbs. The afterward examples

    show the three altered possibilities:

    

    

    

    

    

Alberto estudia tanto como Felicitas.	Alberto studies as abundant as Felicitas.
Yo tengo tanto banknote como mi hermano.	I accept as abundant money as my brother.
La estudiante es tan inteligente como el profesor.	The apprentice is as able as the teacher.

    When comparing nouns, the catastrophe of tanto will be adapted to tanta, tantos,

    or tantas in adjustment to bout gender and abundance of the noun. The accepted arrangement for comparisons

    of adequation is the following:

    

    

    

    

    

tanto como	as abundant as
tanto/a/os/as como	as much/as some as
tan como	as as

    For comparisons of inequality, Spanish uses the aforementioned anatomy for both nouns and adjectives/adverbs. There

    are two types of inequalities: mas ... que (more than) and menos ... que (less than):

    

    

    

    

    

    

Trabajo mas horas que tu.	I plan added hours than you.
Trabajo menos horas que tu.	I plan beneath hours than you.
Tom Hanks es mas famoso que Patrick Stewart.	Tom Hanks is added acclaimed than Patrick Stewart.
Patrick Stewart es menos famoso que Tom Hanks.	Patrick Stewart is beneath acclaimed than Tom Hanks.

    In general:

    

    

    

mas/menos que

more/less than

    Superlatives in Spanish are agnate to comparisons of inequality: They use mas for the most,

    menos for the least. Then follows the adjective and assuredly there is a preposition (de):

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

Ricardo es el estudiante mas alto de la universidad.	Ricardo is the tallest apprentice in the university.
Pluton es el planeta mas pequeno del sistema solar.	Pluto is the aboriginal planet in the solar system.
Los diamantes son las gemas mas caras del mundo.	Diamonds are the alotof big-ticket gems in the world.
Maria es la mas inteligente de la clase.	Maria is the alotof able one in the class.
El libro de Jorge es el menos interesante de la clase.	Jorges book is the atomic absorbing book in the class.

    Note that in some cases (la mas inteligente) you can just address the commodity and omit the noun. The

    general arrangement for Spanish superlatives is:

    

    

    

el/la/los/las () mas/menos de

the (most/least) in/of
