Muchos or Muchas

Mi hermano tiene ________ perros. 

My brother has many dogs.

In this quiz I put "muchos" however I got it wrong as it said the correct answer is "muchas". Which word is feminine in this sentence?

El problema habría sido resuelto en dos minutos por mí.

The correct answer was "…por mí en dos minutos."

Thanks. K

Looking up"Tanto" I found it has many parts of speech. Which are they here? I believe they are adverbs. (interestingly they can be many, many things!)

Simple present tense indicating future plans or intentions.

I had always understood that using the simple present tense or the compound "going to do something" worked exactly the same in English as Spanish. Something planned or intended for the future.  (Not the present continuous)

Visitamos a Lola este fin de semana.We are visiting Lola this weekend.
Vamos a visitar a Lola este fin de semana.We are going to visit Lola thei weekend.

All  the above sentences mean exactly the same thing.

I am dying of thirst

If I had answered, "Me estoy muriendo de sed" instead, would it be viewed as correct?

"-erir", "-vertir", "-etir", "-ergir" and other verbs

[A comment rather than a question]: All  '-erir' verbs [apart from the barely used 'enjerir'] change the e to ie:, e.g. sugerir, referir, preferir, diferir, transferir, requerir and a host of others. A similar rule applies to [all !] '-vertir' verbs: convertir, divertir(se), etc. etc.... On the other hand, all '-etir', '-edir' and '-egir' verbs adopt the e>i change.... With help from a CD which enabled words to be listed in reverse-alphabetical order, I examined the contents of my CLAVE dictionary, and posted the results in http://dlmcn.com/ir_verbs.html (the accents are properly represented in http://DLMcN.com/irverbs.doc ).
