Romanian grammar foundations: from pronunciation to sentence analysis

Romanian spelling gives strong clues to pronunciation. To analyze a clause you also need terms for word class, sentence role, and form. Start with sounds, syllables, and word stress. Then learn those terms and identify word classes in real sentences. Continue by mapping subjects, predicates, and direct objects. Finish by applying agreement and choosing the register that fits the situation. This order moves from reading individual words to analyzing complete clauses.
