- Translating the previous answer to English: (because indy wants to Learn Spanish Using *English*) "In general, the adjective comes after the noun; occasionally one uses it before the noun in order to have a literary or musical effect in the sentence, but this is not the usual. In your example, the most appropriate way is "No entiendo la tarea [or "el deber" or "el trabajo"] de español."0 votedJanuary 12, 20090
- I'm not a native English speaker, but in Portuguese there are words with the same differences, so I'll try to answer. TALK: if person A *talks* to person B, they are in a dialog. They're having a conversation. One speaks and the other replies, and so on. SPEAK: *speaking* is one of the ways of using language: we can speak, write, listen, read... If we say "someone speaks", that indicates that he/she broke the silence, or that he/she is able to speak... for example, "Speech-impaired people can't speak." "The boss wants to speak with you." SAY: *say* is similar to "speak", but you have to specify what the person speaks. If you use the verb say, you must indicate *what* the subject of the sentence is saying. Example: "I said that... [something]" "He said he didn't like this color." TELL: this means to communicate some information or some fact. "I told you not to do that!" "Tell me... how long have you been living here?" I hope I didn't confuse you.0 votedJanuary 12, 20090
