Difference between adjectives and nouns

I am having an extremely hard time telling the difference between "how" I feel and "what" I feel (so I know when to use "sentirse" and when not to use it.)

Also, I don't know how to tell what is an adjective and what is a noun. There don't seem to be standard endings for adjectives. (orgulloso, alegre, frustrado, etc.)

answer instructions

The answer instructions don't say to answer all that could be correct or just one answer.

Are points taken off for just giving one correct answer?

Kwiziq left out the word "it".

The combined verb with pronouns now has an accent [´] even if didn't have one as a simple imperative with no pronouns, this is to maintain the pronunciation of the original verb.

You could have lost your job with that rude attitude.

Why couldn't the answer be, "Pudieras haber perdido" since it was hypothetical and you didn't actually lose your job?

Me olvido de....

In the quiz question A veces ________ que llevamos casados 20 años. I selected the response “se me olvido” which was incorrect — but I’m not sure why, even after reviewing the lesson. I have a couple guesses, but could you help me understand why it doesn’t work?

A polite request...

Hola a todos,

A huge thank you to Inma and all the other super teachers we have at our beck and call here in Kwiziq land. Inma et.al, you have the patience of saints!

My request: I have mentioned this before but feel that I need to bring it up again...

Please, when we are asking for assistance from the teachers can we all be mindful of 'manners'. A simple 'Hi', a 'please could you help me with...' and then just a simple 'thank you' in advance or when help has been given.

Gracias y saludos :)

Los ninos jugaban Why is this translated as The children were playing and not The children used to play?

I wonder if the chosen translation depends on the context?
