Question:

Queda muy ________ arroz, no podemos hacer la paella.

Answer: poca

I understand the explanation of when to use poco/poca/pocas/pocos but I don't understand why in this circumstance it is feminine, because I thought arroz is masculine. Is 'arroz' actually feminine, or is it because 'la paella' is feminine? 

Este se negó a entregárselo. What does Este mean here? I know it means usually means  “this”.  

Thanks a lot, 

Shirley.

Why is it "Mi abuela sabia cocinar", but "Mi abuela supo cuidarme muy bien"?  Shouldn't both sentences be in imperfect tense? My assumption is that the action is descriptive and doesn't have a definite start or end.

"Hurry, Run!"  Can I interpret "Hurry" as Command, too? If so, none of the options is appropriate. 

could you, please, explain why " mi corazón me iba a explotar/estalar" is not valid? I' ve always had a problem with this kind of expression.

Hola,

I think "jugo de naranja y zanahoria" should be also an accepted answer because they seem to use the word "jugo" in Latin America.

Thanks,
Daria.

"La" is only used as the feminine for a direct object, correct? So in this example from the lesson the first "her" (se) is the indirect object of "dar" but the the second "her" is a direct object of "ver"? 

Se lo daré cuando la vea.

I will give it to her when I see her.

If the second "her" were an indirect object, it would be "le", right? For example, is this correct?

Se lo daré cuando le hable.
I will give it to her when I talk to her.

Thank you!

Kwiziq: ...las piezas cerámicas de colores.

Me: ...las piezas de cerámica coloreada.

Can you explain the difference please?

Saludos
