What differentiates the 2 sentences belowWhy in the 1st sentence does the noun precede and why in the 2nd sentence does the adjective precede?
Aquel hombre pobre no tiene dinero. (Poor)
Aquel pobre hombre era muy desgraciado. (Disgraced)
The only distinction I see is the different quality described by each adjective.
---------------------------------------------
And, how does the chart below help to answer my question?
Adjective before after
pobre unfortunate poor
---------------------------------------------
It would be useful to use single spacing in this edit window. It would be a more efficient use of space, minimizing the need to scroll. I am obsessed with formatting.
Thank you, James

In the reading exercise Espiritu Navideño, the woman is described as espíritu mágico de Navidad. How come, the ending is not changed to match the feminine "mujer"?
My test question asked for the El Presente Continuo - i’m new to learning Spanish and skipped the question as I thought I didn’t know how to tackle Continuo - only to find that when I selected “Explain” I was directed to the El Presente Progesivo, which I have studied. So are there the two descriptions for this grammar and should your lesson not say El Presente Progesivo or Continuo (for those, like me, who don’t always think outside the box) ?
Why is "Ellos propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." wrong?
Why is "Propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." the only right answer?
I was just wondering if there are any new languages planned for release in the near future. I have read (I think it was on Twitter) that German, Italian and Portuguese were potentially in the works.
If so, that would be excellent news, as KwizIQ is definitely one of the best language resources out there!!
Hello, in "Puedes hacer lo que quieras, no me importa.", why is it quieras and not quieres ? I got that it's the subjunctive but I don't understand why. Thanks !
