Questions & Answers about Я часто решаю простые и сложные вопросы.

What is the infinitive and aspect of the verb решаю, and what does it mean?

решаю is the 1st person singular present tense form of the imperfective verb решать. It means to solve or to resolve. Because it’s imperfective, it expresses a repeated or habitual action (“I often solve”).

Why is вопросы used here even though it literally means “questions”? Could it also mean “issues” or “matters”?

Yes. вопрос can mean “question,” “issue,” or “matter” depending on context. In this sentence it doesn’t refer to a literal question you ask someone but to “simple and complex issues/matters.”

Why do the adjectives простые and сложные end in -ые?

They modify the plural noun вопросы and must agree in number (plural), gender (masculine), and case (accusative). Inanimate masculine nouns have identical nominative and accusative forms in the plural, so the adjectives appear as простые and сложные.

Why isn’t there a change in form for вопросы in the accusative case, since it’s the direct object of решаю?

In Russian, inanimate masculine nouns have the same form in the nominative and accusative plurals. Since вопросы is inanimate, its accusative plural is identical to its nominative plural.
