RED FLAGS for Spanish Speakers

How is English different than Spanish?

genitive salon - my mom´s book

no double negative in english.

definite article vs indefinite - motorcycles are noisy

subject always in a sentence.

use of gerunds - eating cake is my favorite thing

phrasal verbs - especially the intransitive ones

we use conditional for imperfect. you use imperfect for conditional perfect.

passive voice often can be accomplished in spanish with a reflexive. We don´t have that in english.
