What differentiates the 2 sentences belowWhy in the 1st sentence does the noun precede and why in the 2nd sentence does the adjective precede?
Aquel hombre pobre no tiene dinero. (Poor)
Aquel pobre hombre era muy desgraciado. (Disgraced)
The only distinction I see is the different quality described by each adjective.
---------------------------------------------
And, how does the chart below help to answer my question?
Adjective before after
pobre unfortunate poor
---------------------------------------------
It would be useful to use single spacing in this edit window. It would be a more efficient use of space, minimizing the need to scroll. I am obsessed with formatting.
Thank you, James
The hint says write number in digits but the answer is given as the word.
One example of junta means "gathered" instead of "together":
Había demasiado polvo junto en la habitación.There was too much dust gathered in the bedroom.
When do we use this different meaning?

Hola,
If I’m reading this right, we’re using todo cuanto when it’s an adverb, then when it’s an adjective, it therefore agrees with the noun?
I’m taking the following to be adverbial usage:
Haremos todo cuanto esté en nuestras manos para ayudarte.
Gracias,

I guess I wasn't clear in my question. The "any" in parens is what I added in my question. There were no parens in the English in the lesson.
Also I was asking if "No hagan ningún ruido" is the correct way to say "Don't make any noise."
Maybe it's just me, but I find it very difficult when translations are so different from each other. Quite often the subleties escape me.
Hi, can you please help me to understand why ‘Para lo que’ means ‘given how much’ in this sentence.
Thanks
Hola Inma,
I can' t understand the use of él here: ¿Que nunca has oído hablar de él?
Sounds like referring to a male person. Why don't you use ello here, since it's about a mountain?
I've seen this stuctrure elsewhere, but still don't understand it. Can you, please, explain?
Un salulo

Just wondering why the extra word is in the English translation.
No hagan ruido
Don't make (any) noise Kwiziq
No hagan ningún ruido
Don't make any noise
