Spanish language Q&A Forum

I am a little confused with the following quiz sentence/ answer:  'Tardé pocas horas en hacerlo.', for which the correct answer is 'pocas horas'.  Why wouldn't 'unas pocas horas' also be correct?

WWhen do you use divertido instead of divertida

He visto = present perfect that is not finish still in today continuing. Why in above translate do say to as mean  that saw that is v2?? 

Hi! my first post, so first things first: kwiziq is great!

About the sentence "Ella piensa muy despacio." Isn't that supposed to be "despaciamente", as it is an adverb that describes the way she thinks?

Thank you!

I'm quite confused regarding 'borrow' and 'lend' in Spanish.

I wonder if it's because I've been learning Spanish from a Latin American source and have learned various ways to say 'to borrow' and 'to lend' using such things as 'prestar', 'pedir prestado' and 'tomar prestado'. Grammatically I understand how these phrases work, but they only seem to imply borrow/lend, and I've never been entirely comfortable using any of them!

I.O.P + dejar as used in Spain is quite new to me... and it actually makes sense straight away!

So, I'm interested to know if 'prestar' is used at all in Spain, and if so, how?  

BTW, as there seems to be no exact equivalent to borrow and lend between English and Spanish many people get confused by it. A separate lesson on the subject would be a great addition to the Kwiziq library imo ;)

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?

Hi there, I love the summer too, but I'll need a little help with the word "Allá" please.

One of the answers given in this test was "y suelo ir allá mucho", the suggestes lesson for this part of the quiz was aqui, ahi & alli, but not sign of allá...  I'm wondering if allá is so far away we can't even see it :-)

Please would you help?

Am I correct in understanding that with bueno/malo, putting it before the noun creates more emphasis?

Like " mi padre es un hombre bueno." -My father is a good man.

"Mi padre es un buen hombre." -My father is a [really] good man.

I’m confused, agua is masculine but the adjective is feminine (fría). 

Thank you,

Shirley.
