If you’re asking if simpático changes to simpática when you’re talking about a female… you’re right! ¡Muy bien!

Hola, senor Jordan.
I wondered if the adverb in espanol such as ”a veces” , ” nunca”, ” bastante” , ”siembre”, are like those in english, which can be put in whatever place of the sentence.
Can I say , A veces soy bastante generoso ,pero soy nunca tacano. ?
