Language/Spanish/Grammar/El-Verboide
Preamble[edit | edit source]
In the Spanish like other languages it's important to know the sentence's structure to be able to write, in the Spanish there is special form that is called "Verboide", which I will share with you today because I think it's important to know to get a good verb conjugation in the sentence.
Definition of Verboide[edit | edit source]
These terms can't be conjugated alone and other words are necessary, these verbs don't have gender, number, time or mode. This a easy way to learn Spanish! You just need to learn some special words (Tenses). Besides they have acquired another function as a noun in the infinitive form, as a adjective in the participle form and as a adverb in the gerund.
Examples[edit | edit source]
This is a usual mistake with those who aren't familiar with the Spanish grouping, they omit the Verboide form (Va a comer) [Go to eat] and just use the infinitive form (Comer) [Eat].
This is the correct way to group these kinds of words within a sentence in Spanish as a verboid.
