All the phrases written above are in correct order in Spanish. You are probably asking a linguistic question. I hope one of our experts jumps in and helps you with diagraming the senteces.

I just wrote the examples to show that there isn't just one correct word order in Spanish. The most "standard" is the one you mentioned (Subject+Verb+Complement) as in "Maria va a la escuela".
Although I know how to write the same sentence in different ways, I have no clue about the formal "rules" of when to do this and when not to do that. That's the advantage of being a native speaker. I recommend that you google "Spanish sentence structure".

I tend to use the word "negrita" as a term of endearment. I got it from my pops who uses it all the time. ''Negrita" is similar to "morena" except that it specfically means "black girl" as opposed to "Tan girl". It's very common for Puerto Ricans to use it. In fact, most women who I use the word on eventually tell me that they love it when I call them that because it reminds them of home.
Funny story: this white dude asked me about that once. He said "why do they seem flattered when you call them black?". I said, "because to us being black is not a bad thing!".
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.

If you're asking what "hacia" means, it means "toward(s)."

So in this sense it means "towards where...", "In what direction..."
Hacia donde partiras - "Where are you going?" or "Toward where are you leaving?" (kind of awkward to translate)
Hacia donde dirigirme - "Towards where should I head to?" "Where should I go?"

Well, the sentence means "the party was ruined/ended."
Se is the reflexive for he/she/it & in this case it being the party.
The reflexive for I/me is me
for you (familiar)=te
you(formal)=le
us=nos
you (plural)/them=les

if you add fue in there it's like "the party was it busted itself". it would be se revento el party (which is the name of the song i'm listening to right now jaja)

se doesn't mean anything by itself (other than sé which is i know). it's just used to show that someone/something did whatever to themselves/itself.

Hola! I dont exactly know how to know when un complemento is directo or indirecto... You know, when I want to replace it by LA, LO or LE... When you are speaking about a person, it seem to be always indirecto but im not sure and what is the trick to know it easily?

jugo de parcha
Does anyone know what kind of juice "jugo de parcha" is?
I believe it's a Puerto Rican expression.
I can't find parcha in any dictionary.
Thanks Hugs Joyce
