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.

I know for "¡Ni loca te presto dinero!" if you want to use "ni que fuera" it goes: "Ni que fuera loca. . . " but what do you replace "presto" with? i.e. "Ni que fuera loca te ___ dinero."
Kwiziq: ...las piezas cerámicas de colores.
Me: ...las piezas de cerámica coloreada.
Can you explain the difference please?

I've been learning Spanish slowly for many years now, from taking classes, learning online, and speaking with native speakers. My interactions in Spanish have been limited to Latin Americans, primarily due to the fact that I live somewhat close to the US/Mexico border. In my previous learning, I've been made aware of the word "vosotros" but not much beyond that. The conjugations I had previously been taught omitted the "vosotros" form. I have also never heard the word "vosotros" used in any conversations.
I'm curious how common it is as the lessons I am going through have the conjugations for that form, as well as examples. I'm not sure how much focus I should place on relearning conjugations for the vosotros form given my preference to learn Latin American Spanish.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Would it be correct to use Porque at the start of a sentence....e.g. instead of
Como estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy.
Porque estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy
the English translation of "la puedes cocinar a la plancha" is rendered as "you can cook it on the plancha". Is "plancha" an English word? I have never heard it before and I don't know what it means. I looked it up and it says "flat top grill". I'm not even sure what that is. Is "plancha" a word that is used in Brittish English?
I want you to help me with simple way of understanding Spanish preterite please
