         I'm sorry but damay termana doesn't sound like a Spanish sentence.
         Can you please verify, it could: dame y termina?

   I want to learn these words, please, for starters:
   
   I
   Me
   My
   Mine
   You
   Yours
   He
   Him
   She
   Her
   His
   Hers
   They
   Them
   Theirs
   Our
   Ours
    
   Formulating sentences seems tricky.  It seems that Spanish is speaking in reverse compared to how I would say it in English.  What's the reason for this and what are the exceptions?

      mmm yes is reverse but only for questions.
      Grammar convection for a present tense sentence would be:
      [Noun]+[Verb in present]+[Complement]
      IE: You + are + a teacher
      Spanish: Tu + eres + un profesor
      
      But for questions:
      [Verb in present]+[noun]+[Complement]
      IE: Are + you + a teacher?
      Spanish: Tu eres un profesor?
      -Same grammar rule, pronunciation changes in Questioning intonation, but no change in structure.
      You could change structure as English, but it would sound rare.

            Thanks for posting these words in spanish. Just a bit of information, here in our country, most of those words are very much alike the way we say it in Filipino. One advantage of being colonized by Spaniards for almost 300 years is that we get to adopt most of their Spanish terms in our Filipino dialect.
            I myself thanked them so much because I get to learn to Speak Spanish from self study. It has not been very difficult for me because of some similarities on our language.
            
            Por eso en este momento, yo consigo la paga buena como un Filipina que es un español que habla a agente en un centro de la llamada.
            
            (That is why right now, I am getting good pay as a Filipina who is a Spanish speaking agent in a call center.)

    Stop   (Verb: To stop) parar/detener [Stop the car - Deten el carro]
    Go     (Verb: To go) Ir [I go on Tuesdays - Yo voy los martes]
    Now    (Time adverb) Ahora [I need it now - Lo necesito ahora]
    Then   (Time adverb) Entonces [And then it stopped - Y entonces se detuvo ]
    Here   (Place adjective) Aqui [Here it is - Aqui esta]
    There  (Place adjective) Alli/Alla [There it is - Alli/alla esta]
    Come   (Verb: to come) Venir [Come here Ana - Ven aca Ana]
    Stay   (Verb: to stay) Quedar [Stay here Ana - Quedate aqui Ana]
    
    Over   (Different uses, 1st to start: time adverb)
            Acabado/terminado/culminado
        -> [Is over - Se acabo/termino]
    
    Should  (Unreal tense/Conditional) Debería
            [Should i go - Debería ir?/Sera que voy?/Suppositions]
    
    Should not  (Unreal tense/Conditional-Negative form) Verbo+[ía]
            [Or should i not? - O no debería ir?/Suppositions]
    
    Could  (Unreal tense/Conditional-Permission ask) Podría/pudiera
            [Could i go? - Podría ir?/Permission ask]
    
       -> + Should [If i could go, I should ask Ana now]
            [Si pudiera ir, debería preguntale a Ana ahora]
    
    For the remaining ones I think it should work
    But I recommend you to stick to the conjugation table for the present  tense first, because if you mess tenses uses, you would get confused when you need to speak.
    Conjugation table will teach when to use verbs termination and you will learn also to differentiate between a regular verb and the irregular verbs, this is very important thing as it is in English also for Spanish.
    Start with verb To Be in present tense, is the most used in both

       Alessia is a gramar rule for Spanish
       In exclamation grammar and also questions, you need to use opening and closing.
       English doesn't aply that grammar rule, we can use only a closing.
