¡Yo no comprendo!

It’s easy to make a negative statement in Spanish: Simply say no before the verb.

Lo siento. Yo no comprendo.
I’m sorry. I don’t understand.



¡Quiero hablar español!

Hablar, escribir, and leer are infinitives. In English, infinitives are usually used with to (as in to study), but in Spanish, infinitives don’t require a word like to. To say I want to study, you can simply say Yo quiero estudiar.

Yo quiero escribir.
I want to write.
Yo necesito leer.
I need to read.
