efectivo noun or adjective

At first glance, I thought efectivo is an adjective (meaning effective) but it actually means cash. Is there an obvious ending to nouns in spanish like there is in english?

Yo no ________ a nadie en la fiesta de Marcos.I didn't know anyone at Marcos' party. The correct answer is conocía? seems like a contradiction.

Sin queSube al ático ________de las escaleras. Go up to the attic without falling off the stairs.
Although I got the correct answer to this eg. Sin caerte , I don’t understand why the answer is informal but the question is formal. Sube and not Subes.

I assume then if I wanted to use the expression 'vale la pena' in the conditional, it would read 'valdría la pena'? (It would be worth it)?

cuál

If cuál means "which" and the question is "which" flowers NOT "what" flowers when would cuál ever be used? Tengo dos flores cuál prefieres?

Micro quiz question

Hola,

The answer was "Voy a pedirle que me lleve a su casa" as translation of "I am going to ask her to take me home."

Why is the indirect object pronoun "le" used in this sentence and not "la" the direct object pronoun? I'm wondering whether it is something to do with the way that pedir is used e.g. "ask it of her."

Can you help?

Thanks John

Waiting for people -- direct or indirect? Conflicting info in lesson.

I've read the Q&A and related articles and am still confused. The sentence is: My sisters are often late, I always wait for them for two hours. When I apply the information in the lesson's Q&A, I ask myself: "For whom do I wait? For my sisters." Therefore sisters should be an indirect object. However, the quiz gives the direct object pronoun, las, as correct. Which is it and why? (Also, it would be helpful if you edited the questions so the correct answer to this appears consistently.)

ps: it looks like Marcos and Lisa, below, are asking the same question in slightly different ways. Perhaps you can address all 3 questions as a group. Thanks!

Menor or Menos ?

It offers solutions with LESS impact. I put MENOS impacto and don't understand why this is incorrect. I understand MENOR to mean smaller or younger

Gracias
