Well it's been a while since I posted but nonetheless I still have a barage of questions.

What is the difference between подруга and друг; and тоже and также; and здесь and сюда; теперь and сейчас?
When I read Russian text before, I used to read "I have a brother" as "у меня брать" but now that I'm with another book, it says "у меня есть брать." Are both correct? And when is another instance in which you would use ecть?
What is мне нужно and мне нравиться in the past tense? I know they're adjectives but is it possible to express that in the past?

There are two plural forms in Russian
1 - кошка
2,3,4 - кошки
5 and more - кошек

много кошек but три кошки

That's, actually, not true. кошка is a singular form, кошки is a plural, but кошек is a form of plural word in Родительный падеж
