> Indeed, my Grammar book (by Butt and Benjamin) actually mentions that "sino" is particularly common after a "No sólo ..." construction; [with a bit of luck, I will remember that in future!]
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.
I think 55% and 37% should be written in letters for the sake of pronouncing "porcentaje"
Correct me if I am wrong. “La alpaca es in animal de la familia de la llama y de los camellos” means “The alpaca is an animal from the family of camels”. May you clarify why it’s mentioned “de la llama”? Can we write just “la alpaca es un animal de la familia de los camellos”?

The problem with saying 'either no longer true or not relevant' here creates a grey area because normally if we understand a condition to not be relevant, we would use the imperfecto, surely? See the first question in the quiz for example.
Would it be "Ella estuvo" here if we add a specific time like "Ella estuvo lavándose el pelo de 8 a la 8:30" ?
Also, we would appreciate the El indefinido progresivo examples with all pronouns as just having 3 is not enough to remember the conjugations.
I thought gustar was modified by the thing being liked (vs the person/people doing the liking), but when I chose gustan for liking the horse races I was marked wrong.
Some of the phrases sound like commands, why not use the imperative mood as opposed to subjunctive?
My question is not about the answer per se... but the phrase {si yo necesitara ir al trabajo}... what is the verb tense or form for necesitara? I am thinking it was future of necesitar but that would have á vs a in the ending. Also the phrase will be will need to go to work. Thanks.
Hola,
Thank you for this lesson. I understand that ningun is used before a noun:
"No tengo ningun dinero para ir de compras hoy.";
"Ningun estudiante hizo la tarea."
My confusion is when concerning when to use "ningun" vs "ninguno"?
Saludos
I think at first boyfriend. ... lol both muy and mucha in same sentence. I like that.
