En la discoteca había muchos chicos guapos.

Regular vs Irregular Adjectives in Spanish

Hello,

I am trying to get an overview of Spanish adjectives.

Am I correct to assume that adjectives that end in -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?

This would mean that the following are irregular:

- masculine adjectives that end in -a or -e
- adjectives that end in -z or -l

- adjectives that end in -án, ón, -or

- adjectives that end in -ar

Is this correct?

Are there also other adjectives groups/endings?

Mucho: uncountable nouns rule?

You have this rule:

Mucho + [masculine singular noun] = a lot of / much [masculine singular noun]

Is this rule only valid for uncountable nouns?

All of the examples are uncountable nouns.

El Pretérito Imperfecto vs PreteritoYo ________ por la ciudad cuando lo ví.I was walking around in the city when I saw him.(HINT: Conjugate "caminar" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)
I don't understand why this is El Pretérito Imperfecto rather than only past tense.

Pronouncing "quiere"

Hello,

In the lesson el profesor pronounces 'quiere' "yiere", is this normal for European Spanish? Normally I expect a fairly strong "q" sound?

Thanks

Tenses of Saber

I think I remember from my high school days that saber has a different meaning than "to know" in one of its tenses, I think one of the past tenses has a different meaning when translated to English but I'm not sure. It might have been for a negative construction of saber, to mean I don't remember rather than I don't know. I haven't come across any grammar rules that mention this since high school, but I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Thanks

Haber + past participle

I don't remember seeing this structure/ tense of haber + past participle in the previous lessons.

Quiza Miguel no haya aprobado.

Could you please point me in the right direction to find where this is taught?

Thank you.

Nevermind, I found this a little later in the B1 section to conjugate haber in present subjunctive, then there is a link in that lesson for the present perfect subjunctive for haber.
