THANK YOU

Answer 1

Attatch furring strips (strips of wood) to the wall using construction adheisive and concrete nails/screws, then attach the drywall to the furring strips.

Answer 2

It depends on the concrete and the moisture level.

Not having seen it I would suggest a layer of moisture barrier (plastic) and then s******g or nailing furring strips to the concrete and s******g the drywall to that.

If the concrete is good, dry, above ground and flat I would likely glue the drywall right to it either with construction adhesive, drywall compound or one of the quick drywall cements like compound 90 or compound 45.
