I think that "Hizo pedazos de los coches" might be what you need, as it would transliterate into "It made pieces of the cars" rather than "It made pieces the cars", but "hizo pedazos [noun]" could be idiomatic or not necessarily grammatical, so I'm not en...

What's funny is that I don't know /why/. I always see 'with' used here, but have no clue why it is that way. Does anyone know if it has a reason for not being 'for' or 'of' instead, or is it just arbitrary?

Colinears, according to Google search "define:colinear" are vectors which lie along the same straight line. I don't know anything about this so I can't explain further but that may help.

I see, thanks. It looks like it might also be possible to use 'toward' (if I'm right in thinking the definition 'in regard to' is in use here) and it does Sound Right but I never see that. I liked English more when I didn't think about it.

The first should be "Parlez-vous francais?"; the other two seem correct from my knowledge of Romance languages, but I don't speak much French and you should wait for someone who does to clarify.

> is greater than. A good analogy is to imagine that the greater/lesser than sign is a mouth that always turns to eat the larger value. 1 < 2 -- One is less than two; the gluttonous mouth wants the bigger one, of course. ;)

It's not usual for some people to feel overwhelmed by such an open-ended assignment -- I was often confused when I wasn't told exactly what I was to do (I worried that I'd do it wrong, maybe?). If it were me, I might go for a poster, and come up with crea...

It'd be "a la una y media" just as in "es la una..." unless I've forgotten and am doing it wrong. I haven't had to tell time in Spanish outside of classes, funnily enough, so I could have made a mistake.

To indicate the time at which something happens, use "a la..." or "a las..." as in: La clase comenza a la una y media y termina a las dos y catorce -- The class begins at 1:30 and ends at 2:14.

The verb they've given you is wrong; you need to find the correct form of it. Present: Speak. Past: Spoke. Past participle: Spoken. I speak, I spoke, I have spoken. If it's used with a helping verb such as 'have', it's likely a past participle. The approp...

I'm having trouble making sense of the first sentence, maybe because I'm tired, but I think 'le' is correct. In 2, the waiter, being not the direct object but affected by the subject's actions on the DO, is the indirect object, and le is correct. In 3, as...
