When to use feminine or masculine?

Could you please elaborate more on which condition to use feminine or masculine? For example, why not a lo francés, since it's a style, and why not a ciegos, but a ciegas? Thank you!

Continuation of my previous post requesting permission

Is it okay to use one of your sentences in my Cantonese and Mandarin language learning video? I want to show repetition of words in different languages and would like to use your: Lo que se dice dolor dolor no tengo. If you're okay with my using your sentence, I will of course credit you and have a link to your website. If you want to see what my videos are like before you make a decision, they're at: https://www.youtube.com/user/notnowigottago

Tenses to narrate the pastSegún la declaración del testigo, el ladrón _____ por la ventana. The correct answers were escapará and escaparía. But why is escapa not also correct? I thought the present tense could be used to narrate past events in literature as well.

Poco/a vs. un/una poco/a

Hi, my understanding was that "un poco" was always used when poco was used as a pronoun, instead of as an adjective or adverb along with the explicit noun?

Ex: Quieres arroz? Si, un poco (de arroz).

Ex: Solo quiero poco arroz.

Ex: Necisito estudiar poco.

Is this not correct?

Thanks!!

*(BTW, this website is so incredibly helpful.

"Susana nos habia pedido..."?

Shouldn't "Susana nos habia pedido..." translates not as "Susana has asked us...", but rather "Susana had asked us..."?
