Difference between adjectives and nouns

I am having an extremely hard time telling the difference between "how" I feel and "what" I feel (so I know when to use "sentirse" and when not to use it.)

Also, I don't know how to tell what is an adjective and what is a noun. There don't seem to be standard endings for adjectives. (orgulloso, alegre, frustrado, etc.)

¿En qué estaría pensando cuando lo hizo? - does the concional imply past here?

I translate this with "what would she be thinking when she made it", is that correct? What confuses me a bit is that "estaría" is used to describe events in the past but it is present here. This is still just a 'condicional simple', correct?

Elsewhere I found an example where "¿Qué estaría pensando ella?" is being translated with "what was she thinking?" Again, the past seems to be implied here.

Have you heard the news? In English, have you heard is very general. It could be addressed to… you=tú, you=usted, you=vosotros, you=ustedes. The correct answer should reflect all four possibilities.

When to use future perfect?

Can you please explain when to use the future perfect vs the forms of deber in this lesson? Do they all mean the same thing or are there distinct use cases?

American English Question

In the example: Estamos buscando una farmacia para comprar paracetamol.We are looking for a chemist to buy some paracetamol.
Is a chemist a pharmacy or a pharmacist?
I'm trying to figure out if you need the personal a if it is just a particular person and not if it is the name of a person's job. So here, if chemist is a pharmacist, I don't use a personal a because it isn't a specific person.
OR.
If the personal a is for any person and here chemist is a pharmacy, not a pharmacist.
Thanks!

Title of lesson is confusing Using más que for "only / just"

All the examples use “no más que”. Can the title be changed to “using no más que”?

translating "no tiene mas que" to "not having more than" instead of "only"

Wouldn't it be easier to translate "No tenía más que unas monedas en el bolsillo." to "He didn't have more than a few coins in his pocket." rather than "He only had a few coins in his pocket."? This type of translation would work for the "más que +noun" instances.

Can "No tienes más que decirlo y yo estaré allí para ayudarte." be translated to "You don't have to say anything more than it/that and I will be there to help you." rather than "You just have to say it and I will be there to help you."?
