Una pared de mi habitacion es rosa.   I thought that walls and rosas had to agree in number?  Adjective agrees with the noun in number??  I am new at this, so sorry if it sounds very elementary.

Thank you.

When, if ever, is the construction "no...nada" used? When is "nada" used?

I have 2 questions about "no puedo esperar a ver":

1. First I was surprised by the 'a' after 'esperar'.  When do you use this construct rather than esperar on it's own? 

2. In the grammar link for that sentence it says that you shouldn't use this construct at all, so when should you vs when shouldn't you:

"Literal translations from English to Spanish don't work. In this context, do not use this type of construction in the English way:

"Estoy mirando a..." (I am looking forward to...)

"No puedo esperar a..." (I can't wait to...)"

It only says "We can also form the superlative of some adverbs with the suffix -ísimo", but not which ones these are. 

There's something on cerca & lejos, but how about other irregular adverbs (those having an independant form, like bien)?

It seems these would not have any -ísimo from, as I neither found "lo hiciste bienísimo" nor "lo hiciste buenísimo", but solely "lo hiciste muy bien".

Hi Kwiziq Team, 

Please may I ask the following questions:

1) 'Soy profesora de español' - I am a Spanish teacher. 

**Why is the answer not 'Soy una profesora de español'  - why is there no need for the 'una' / 'a' in this sentence?

2) 'Está en el centro de la ciudad' - It is in the centre of the city.

**Why would the correct sentence not be  'Está en el centra de la ciudad' - would 'centro' not need to change to 'centra' to work with 'la ciudad' which is feminine?

Or is 'centro' simply a location, not an adjective in this example so doesn't have to change gender?

Apologies if my questions are confusing! Thanks very much for your help! Great website!

Los que hayan reservado con antelación pueden ir a esa ventanilla.
The ones who booked in advance can go to that desk.

should the translations be can go to that window?

El suele comprar siempre en la misma tienda.

He usually buys in the same store

why is “siempre” used in that sentence?

I have noticed that all of the verbs that have a stem change in the future (querer -> querr-  and tener -> tendr-) have the same stem in the future and the conditional tenses.  Is this a general rule, or are there exceptions.
