Explanation: In Spanish, an *oración* (sentence) is a grammatical unit consisting of a subject (usually a noun or pronoun) and a predicate (usually a verb). A sentence typically expresses a complete thought and may include one or more subordinate clauses.In Spanish, as in other languages, a sentence must have a minimum of two words, a subject and a verb, in order to be considered grammatically complete. However, a sentence can be much longer and can include multiple subordinate clauses. The following are examples of Spanish sentences of varying length and complexity:* subject + verb: Juan come. (Juan is eating.)* subject + verb + direct object: Juan come manzanas. (Juan is eating apples.)* subject + verb + indirect object + direct object: Juan le da manzanas a María. (Juan is giving apples to Maria.)* subject + verb + adverb: Juan come rápido. (Juan is eating quickly.)* subject + verb + prepositional phrase: Juan come en la cocina. (Juan is eating in the kitchen.)* subject + verb + subordinate clause: Juan come cuando María no está. (Juan is eating when Maria isn't there.)In Spanish, as in other languages, the order of words in a sentence can be changed to emphasize certain words or to change the meaning of the sentence. For example, the sentence Juan come manzanas" (Juan is eating apples) can be changed to "Manzanas come Juan" to mean "Apples, Juan is eating them" (i.e., Juan is the one eating the apples, not someone else)."
