This is a quote from kwiziq that is supposed to be explanatory, but it does not suggest a rule to know which adjectives have this form of ending. How are we to know which adjectives have this irregularity? Why can they not just follow the regular formula?

What if?

What if I want to use querer in el preterito indefinido, but I don't want it to be interpreted as tried or refused? Por ejemplo:

Yesterday, I wanted apples, but today I don't.

The action is complete, it requires the preterito indefinido, but I don't want to interpret the sentence as: Yesterday, I tried apples, but today I don't.

'Tis a conundrum for me.

Is correct to use 'sino' in the following sentence?

I saw this verse in NVI bible.

"y no nos dejes caer en tentación, sino libranos del maligno."

Is it correct not to use 'sino que '?

Ser sabroso vs estar rico

¡Hola! Tengo una preguntita...

Why do we use "es sabroso" here when in other exercises we've opted for "está rico/delicioso etc", which seems to be a similar idea?

¡Muchas gracias!
