alguno vs algunos, alguna vs algunasThere seem to be a lot of confusion around this subject. especially when using the word 'some.'
Could you please explain the difference illustrated in these two examples.
Tengo muchas postales de Venecia,
¿quieres algunas?
I have many postcards from Venice, do you want some?
He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿quieres ver
alguna?
I have printed the pictures of our
trip, do you want to see some?
And just as an aside, the sentences in English should be separated by either a semi-colon or a period, not a comma. When a comma is used to separate two independent clauses, it's called a comma splice or a run-on sentence. I'm not trying to be a know-it-all. This is in the spirit of having the best grammar.
No entiendo que el “este” significa en esta frase :(
The quiz question was “muchas veces estoy triste” being translated to “I am often sad”. Why would that not be “A menudo estoy triste”?
Why is there an article in front of frío in the second instance?
Why do you say "votar por" and not "para", since the person you vote for benefits?
Why do you not use the plural form of 'hay' when the subject 'muchas cometas' is plural?
I don't understand how to determine when to use "de" versus "sobre" for the word "about". Las chicas están hablando de mí >> about --> de
Yo soy honesto. No puedo decir lo mismo sobre ti. >> about -->sobre
Thank you.

"In Spanish, you use hubo whether it is followed by one item or many, unlike in English."
In Preterite, if third person singular is also used for plural, when is third person plural used?
