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.
Is there a comprehensive rule for when to use (or not use) PARA before an infinitive? I sometimes encounter examples where para is used without the sense of "purpose" that is supposed to trigger the use of "para." In other words, I can't use the rule "in order to" to translate these sentences.
Cuándo estaba en Australia, tenía muchos problemas para hablar inglés.
Tuvimos muchas dificultades para encontrar la parada de autobús.

I’ve started to get kwiz questions about specific instances of the imperative, but I am very unfamiliar with it. Could you link me to the introductory lessons/material you have about forming the imperative? Thanks
A good, easy read, very well-narrated
Sentence: “Ella dijo que habían problemas en el trabajo.”
Why is “habían” used and not “había”?
Is it because “problemas” is plural?

It would be so much nicer if one didn't need to scroll up and down the page during the exercise. Surely by resizing some of the components on the screen it should be possible to dispense with the need to scroll between each segment of the exercise, no?
Of course, if a cell phone is used that might cause more scrolling etc but on a 14" laptop screen it should be easy enough to presnet a page that's more concise . . .
En 1 of 2 de ejercicio, la pista nos dijo que "Conjugate "ver" El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo". Pero no hay nada tal selección en la lista. Lo mismo error es en 2 of 2 de ejecicio. No hay nada tal selección de "Conjugate "decir" in El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo". Todos los subjuntivo artículos de las listas son El Presente Perfecto Subjuntivo.
Entiendo correctamente los ejercicios? Debemos elegir "Presente Perfecto subjuntivo"?
When should we use "Si" or "Como?"
With the sentence below, is it also ok to use Si? If not, why? Is it because Si triggers the subjunctive?
Como me ofrezcan el trabajo voy a hacer una gran fiesta.
