Question

How do you start a sentence?

Community Answer

In the same way as in English: subject, predicate. It's just that you might not need the subject, thanks to conjugation.

Question

How do I open and close a formal letter to a local Mayor in Spanish?

Community Answer

When writing a letter to an elected official, use the most formal greetings in opening and closing your letter, and address the mayor by their official title. At a minimum, you would want to open your letter with "Estimido/a" and close with "Le saludo atentamente."

Question

How do I say "love from" in Spanish?

Community Answer

Spanish provides several options if you want to express love or affection for the person to whom you're writing. "Besos y abrazos," which means "kisses and hugs," is popular. You could also say "con amor" ("with love") or "amorosamente" ("lovingly").
