VERBS - English verbs are simple, but you always write/say the subject (I, you, we, they, she, he, it etc).

The verb tenses are very exact. I something finished 1 minute ago it's the past if it's right now it's present continuous, 1 minute in the future use the future tense. See 7. Verb Basics

There is only 1 verb for (estar and ser) - to be.
There are 2 verbs for (hacer) make (=create) e.g make a cake
and do (= execute) eg. Do the shopping.

QUESTIONS - Slightly different from Spanish.
with (to be) put the verb in front e.g. Am I Mexican ?
Other verbs put "do" in front e.g. Do you speak English ? See 8. Questions
