So, it might be worth adding that^ to your " Difference between pero, sino and sino que in Spanish (but) " ... [together with an example]?
You might also decide to add the above grammar-lesson to the guidelines, notes and hints relevant to this exercise? ... As you say, it is a case of two possible different translations of "but", so English people need to think about it carefully.
Would "no ha" be better thought of as "has not" instead of "didn't?" I don't know what the grammatical difference is between the two, or if one exists.
it seems like luego de is the only difference between LA and Europe spainish?
Thank you for adding this topic. I'd like to make 2 suggestions.
First, is there a regional preference for using the two pairs of interchangeable words? My understanding is that in Latin America, people tend to use aca' and alla' whereas in Spain, people tend to use aqui' and alli'. Is this correct?
Second, I am not sure whether the pronunciation of ahi' and alli' are the same. Since "h" is silent and "ll" has the "y" sound, I suppose they sound differently, but the sounds /i/ and /yi/ really do not have much noticeable difference. Is there a way to practice distinguishing the two or we can more or less treat them as sounding the same? Thank you!
Just want to draw attention to my unanswered question below.
I am a bit confused here. Below are two responses which I got wrong. In both cases the "hint" is that it is a "future idea". So why should one of them be indicative and the other subjunctive? "Even if you don't want to" I put in the subjunctive because there seemed to be a bit of doubt, and that was marked wrong. "Even if you do extra hours" I put in the indicative because it seemed that that was definitely going to happen.
I think this is a very complicated and nuanced piece of grammar so I would appreciate some help, thank you.
PS I tried to include a screenshot of my answers but the system wouldn't let me.

Alicia, ¿a qué hora te ducha por la mañana?
Hi, a comment, the meaning of por que would be clearer by using the literal English translation. “Some women fight so that their work rights are recognized”. The English used here translates into Algunas mujeres luchan por el reconocimiento de sus derechos laborales. Shirley.

Are “muy de lujo” and “muy lujoso” not synonymous and therefore interchangeable? Asking for a friend 😏!
