Der Plural von "Adverb" ist übrigens "Adverbien". Mit i. ;)

comment Schreibst du einen Brief an deinen Vater?
@DenysS. Yes, this is the correct way to check. The questions "where to" (wohin) and, in this case, "to whom" ask about direction, which means the preposition requires accusative. If you ask "where", you ask about location, in which case the preposition requires dative.

comment What's the meaning of “schon”?
"Ist der Platz schon frei" sounds very strange to me in the context you describe. I'm guessing he started to say "Ist der Platz schon besetzt?" and changed his mind mid-sentence.

comment Two quotes (without quotation marks) in *one* sentence, introduced by two colons?
I don't think you can do it in two sentences because the second part doesn't have a verb and therefore isn't a sentence. Excellent question, though. I've never before wondered about the necessity of quotation marks and colons.

comment Welche Wortart ist “genug”
Gute Frage. Ich hätte spontan "Adverb" gesagt, aber Deine Quellen und die Ausarbeitung meiner Antwort haben mich vom Gegenteil überzeugt. ;)
