I understand the use of 'para' in these sentences:

¿Quieres algo para comer?

Tengo algo que contarte

Can you help?¿Necesitaba algo para escribir?

But I don't understand the use of 'que' in the following:

I’m confused, agua is masculine but the adjective is feminine (fría). 

Thank you,

Hola todos

I have been told that it is very common to use 'quedar' instead of 'estar' to indicate where a place is, for instance 'Mi casa queda cerca del parque.'

I have read quedar used in this way, and have seen it in some dictionaries. However, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it to me, which is odd as I must have used sentences where it might come up hundreds of times on the many occasions I've been navigating neighbourhoods during visits to Spain. Could it be more common in Latin American Spanish?

Can you clarify?

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.

o or ó for “or” in Spanish?

I was taught to use the phrase, "maquillarse la cara".  Is "maquillar su cara" natural to say in Spanish?  

I wrote "voy a maquillarle la cara", and I think this is also correct.

The lesson says:

We always use the singular form of verb gustar when followed by actions!

For example: Me gustan bailar y cantar.

I think I understand the answer, but the example seems confusing since in this case gustar is being used with multiple verbs

How do I know when to shorten "cientos" to "cien"? Is is only when I am saying "100 things (cien cosas)" but I say "cientos" if there are more (ciento y uno cosas)?
