Questions & Answers about Hablo español e inglés.
Why is the word for "and" e here instead of y?
In Spanish, the word for "and" changes from y to e when the following word begins with the sound "ee" (usually spelled with an i or hi). This is to stop the two vowel sounds from merging together. Since inglés starts with an i, we must use e.
Why aren't the languages capitalized like they are in English?
Don't languages usually need el in front of them, like el español?
Why isn't there a yo (I) before hablo?
In Spanish, the verb ending tells you who is doing the action. The -o ending in hablo already means "I speak," so adding the subject pronoun yo is optional and usually left out unless you want to add emphasis.
