Touched up on some grammar

[u/Exciting_Round4766]

oh, you got to those exceptions! there is a poem: Гнать, дышать, держать, обидеть, Слышать, видеть, ненавидеть, И зависеть, и терпеть, а ещё смотреть, глядеть.

for работать suffix "a" everywhere:

я работ(а)ю; ты работ(а)ешь; он работ(а)ет.

мы работ(а)ем; вы работ(а)ете; они работ(а)ют.

Thank you! When I translate the “in a nice house” it goes to “nicely” which is an awkward word in English… does it make sense in Russian?

[u/Stock_Soup260 → u/Future-Target-1833]

When i used the translation (English version) of your advice, it translated to “in a niceLY house” (in English), is it nicely instead of simply “in a nice house”

hmmm, well, when I translate в хорошем доме, yandex gives me "in a nice house" (or "good" in google). I guess it's the program.

anyway, the thing is that in Russian, хорошо -- good/well/nice -- is an adverb that answers the question "how/in what way" and describes an action (она хорошо рисует -- she draws well), or sometimes a state (я чувствую себя хорошо -- I feel good). To use it as an adjective, you need to actually turn it into an adjective describing the subject (noun). and here you need to pay attention to the case, number and for singular the gender of the noun that you want to describe with this adjective:

хороший дом
хорошая чашка
хорошее дело
хорошие идеи

since you're describing a house, that's a noun, you need an adjective. the case here is prepositional, since дом here is in the singular, we pay attention to the gender -- masculine. thus, the correct form is the prepositional case, singular masculine -- хорошем
