Summary of La oración gramatical

00:00:00 - 00:20:00

This video discusses the grammatical structure of Spanish sentences, with a focus on the role of the verb. The video explains that there are two essential elements of a Spanish sentence--the subject and the verb--and that other elements, such as the complement, may be included but are not essential. The video then goes on to explain the role of Spanish verbs in sentences, discussing the need for a complement circunstancial and showing how it is necessary for only the subject and verb to be present in a sentence in order for it to be considered an actual sentence.

• 00:00:00 In this video, a Spanish professor, Mannywood Gutiérrez, discusses the grammatical definition of the word "oración." He points out that oraciones can be divided into two categories: religious orations and grammatical orations. Religious orations are composed of words with a complete meaning, while grammatical orations are built around a verb and a subject. Religious orations are often considered to be outdated, because they rely on semantic criteria rather than grammatical ones. However, the grammatical oration still remains a valid unit of information, because it is the superior of grammar. Mannywood also discusses the tónico of an oración, which is the emotional impact of a sentence. Finally, he touches on the sintáctico, semántico, and fónico aspects of an oración.
• 00:05:00 In this video, Spanish verb forms are compared to those of other languages. For example, in Chinese, there is very little variation in verb forms, with most variations being attributed to adverbs or other elements. In Spanish, however, verb forms are constantly being modified with adverbs or other elements, often depending on the person or thing being spoken to. Semanticly speaking, the verb is the main actor in an utterance, acting as the agent of the action. From a syntactic standpoint, the verb also represents the process being spoken about and the person or thing doing the speaking. Lastly, from a morphological standpoint, the verb can be seen as the main actor and the subject of an utterance, though it may also be acted on or received by another subject. Together, these three levels of analysis form a unified perspective on the Spanish verb, which can be seen as a marvel of poetic language or a powerful stage play written in a hurry. In addition, Spanish verbs are always accompanied by a linguistic pause, which signifies a pause in the speaker's thoughts.
• 00:10:00 The video discusses the grammatical structure of Spanish sentences, focusing on the role of the verb. It explains that there are two fundamental elements of a Spanish sentence--the subject and the verb--and that other elements, such as the complement, may be included but are not essential. The video then goes on to explain the role of Spanish verbs in sentences, discussing the need for a complement circunstancial and showing how it is necessary for only the subject and verb to be present in a sentence in order for it to be considered an actual sentence.
• 00:15:00 In this video, grammar student Laura explains the concept of complementarity, which is the relationship between a verb and its accompanying area(s) of verbal action. Three main complementary areas in Spanish are direct, indirect, and prepositional. The video also covers the use of specific verbs that require a prepositional complement, such as "pasar," "ver," and "acordar."
• 00:20:00 The Grammatical embargo still remains as varied as before, with some people trying to put it to loss by repeating it over and over again. It needs to be done, since it is necessary to take away redundant unnecessary things from the system. We will continue talking about the grammar a lot, thanks.
