Aida, I can send you some websites on spanish, where you explore grammar, remember i can solve your doubs. - www.donquijote.org/spanish/spar - http://www.aprenderespanol.org/enlaces.html - http://www.everyoneweb.es/videoele/ - http://www.enlared.biz/aprender-espanol.html - http://www.spanishcourses.info/Ejerc/Ejercicios_espanol.htm

Most of the similarities you'd notice (ie. cognates/similar words) are a result of the French influence on the English language - French being part of the Romance language group along with Spanish and Italian. As for grammatical structure, there are far less similarities - don't rely on English grammar (most of it is Germanic-based) to bridge the gap, it's better to learn Spanish or Italian grammar from the beginning.

German, English, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese are all originally from "Latin" language. Therefore there are still some similarity in thier languages. Example of the words: "I love you" = Italian(Ti amo), Portuguese(te amo),French(Je t'aime) "Restaurant"=Italian( ristorante), Portuguese(restaurante),Spanish(restaurante) "hello"=French(Allo), Spanish(Hola) etc...

The only common point between the three languages is the alphabet, less the letter ñ which exists only in Spanish.

You have noticed that “Be, Do” and “Have” are auxiliary verbs, so we can see that they are irregular verbs and can be used as main verbs. In English, as it’s known, the auxiliary verbs are used together with a main verb to give grammatical information. Here the auxiliary verbs play the main rule in forming the special grammatical forms as the passive voice, continuous tense and perfect tense. In Italian language the majority of Italian verbs are in need of the auxiliary verb „avere“ for forming the „passato prossimo“ and other „Italian compound tenses“. There are only a very small number of verbs that can be conjugated with either „avere” or „essere“, depending on the sentence structure. At last, forms in English that require an auxiliary (other than the forms that are translated using haber) don't require auxiliaries in Spanish. A sentence in English such as "I will leave" becomes "saldré" in Spanish, not needing a separate word for "will." And "I am leaving" can be expressed simply as "salgo".
