This seems like a completed action, or at least a completed period of time:  

Él no veía nada antes de la operación.

Why do we use the imperfect here?

Thanks.

¡Hola!

Could you please provide me with Spanish equivalents for modal structures of probabality:

-Must/might/may/could + be (+ V-ing);

past probabality:

-Must have/might have/may have/could have + past participle (+ V-ing);

and their negative forms

Thanks in advance

His family's situation saddens them. : ___ la situación de su familia.

How to say "something bores/annoys/saddens you"

La respuesta para esto es "les entristece" pero pensé que familia es singular?  Porque no es " le entristece"?

Gracias.

Would it be correct to use Porque at the start of a sentence....e.g. instead of

Como estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy.

Porque estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy

Hi! my first post, so first things first: kwiziq is great!

About the sentence "Ella piensa muy despacio." Isn't that supposed to be "despaciamente", as it is an adverb that describes the way she thinks?

Thank you!

Hi, if "tuyo" means "yours" by itself, why do you still need "el" in front of it in this sentence:

Mi coche corre tan rápidamente como el tuyo.

I am a little confused with the following quiz sentence/ answer:  'Tardé pocas horas en hacerlo.', for which the correct answer is 'pocas horas'.  Why wouldn't 'unas pocas horas' also be correct?

Hello,

I am trying to get an overview of Spanish adjectives.

Am I correct to assume that adjectives that end in -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?

This would mean that the following are irregular:

- masculine adjectives that end in -a or -e
- adjectives that end in -z or -l

- adjectives that end in -án, ón, -or

- adjectives that end in -ar

Is this correct?

Are there also other adjectives groups/endings?
