Identify the subject, action and object before adding detail.
Remember
La mamá + compra + pan. Subject + verb + object
Subject–verb–object is a useful beginner pattern, not a rigid rule for all Spanish sentences. The subject performs the action here; the direct object is what is bought. Spanish may omit a recoverable subject: Compra pan. Context is then needed to know who buys it. Add a place or time without losing the core meaning.
See the difference
Compra pan.
He/she buys bread; you buy bread (formal), depending on context.
La mamá compra pan en la tienda.
The mother buys bread at the store.
Audio help
Voices are automatic: Orus reinforces masculine personal descriptions; Leda is used for feminine, neutral or ambiguous content. Explicit speaker metadata takes priority. Ordinary masculine nouns do not select a male voice. New recordings are prepared only on Play and saved for reuse. Both voices share the owner-approved monthly budget and 100 new recordings per browser profile per UTC day. Cached audio remains available when the budget is reached. If Google audio is unavailable, Spanish browser audio is labeled Browser Voice. If playback is blocked, use Tap to Play.
