why is naranja singular in "las flores naranja"

I don't understand why naranja is plural in one example and singular in the other.

Puedes coger las flores naranja del jardín.You can take the orange flowers from the garden.Estas flores naranjas son muy bonitas.These orange flowers are very pretty.

Ways to say "become"The "correct" verb required for this sentence is "se hizo": "Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele." I put "se convirtió" because it's a major change of her position in public life. "Hacerse" is described as a change of profession!

Pescar or coger

Hi,

In English, I would say that we would normally use 'to catch' rather than 'to fish' in the sentence "Podemos pescar ...". Would coger make sense in Spanish?

Thanks.

Hola,

I think " te voy a enseñar" is also valid. Isn't it?

...ya he liado a mis amigos...?

Hola Inma,

¿Espero que estés bien?

¡He disfrutado mucho este ejercicio con todas las expresiones idiomáticas! :)

Please could you let me know if I've understood these correctly in the context of the exercise:

-higos a brevas= once in a blue moon.

-a tope= fully, to the fullest.

-de punta en blanco= dressed up to the nines, dressed to kill.

-se mantiene en sus trece= digging his heels in, sticking to his guns (refusing to go).

Also, I'm unsure about the sentence which includes "ya he liado a mis amigos..." Does liar here mean 'to manage to' or 'to trick'?

Gracias

No estamos ninos?

Instead of just adding "Me llamo", I wrote "me llamo Juan" inadvertently giving the answer "Me llamo Juan Juan". This is accidental! Yet Kwiziq marks it incorrect! Almost certainly, this would never occur in a practical situation.

Also when using my tablet, I sometimes miss out a question by accident. Kwiziq should prompt that all the questions have not been answered. This is also accidental! Yet Kwiziq marks it incorrect!

Acabar de + [infinitive] vs Present Perfect

Hello,

It says verbal structure. Does this mean that this is only used in spoken Spanish?

Also, I thought that we used the present perfect for actions that have just happened?

Shouldn’t ‘tengo’ be ‘tenga’, in the subjunctive?

Shouldn’t ‘tengo’ in the first line be ‘tenga’ in the subjunctive? Why isn’t it?
