Questions & Answers about Hablo español y estudio inglés.
Why do both hablo and estudio end in "-o"?
Where is the word for "I" (yo) in this sentence?
In Spanish, you can usually leave out the subject pronoun (like yo, meaning "I") because the ending of the verb already tells us who is doing the action. Since hablo and estudio both end in "-o", it is already clear that "I" am the one speaking and studying. You could say Yo hablo español, but it is perfectly normal and more common to just say Hablo español.
Why aren't the words español and inglés capitalized?
Why does the word inglés have an accent mark?
The accent mark tells you which part of the word to emphasize when you say it out loud. For inglés, the mark over the "e" means you stress that final syllable.
