'Sino' [as apart from 'pero']"... no solo por su físico, sino también por su personalidad ..." >
> 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.
What is Tengo's exact meaning.
In the quiz, the sentence was "When I go to Spain, I always go to the beach". - "___________ voy a Espana, siempre voy a la playa"
The answer is "Cuando" without an accent. In the lesson, it says that cuando without an accent is a relative adverb which introduces a depennt clause. In the above example, what is the dependent clause that "cuando" is introducing? I am not a gramarian, but it seems like both of the above clauses are independent. That may be incorrect, but could you please explain?

So, Juan was supplying both sides of the Revolution with his harina tortillas and also took them across the Rio Grande? I always wondered where Taco John's restaurants came from! Or was that Taco Bell's?
Hi,
The translation given for the above is 'You apologised to me'.
I thought it meant 'You asked me for forgiveness', because You were doing the asking. Would 'apologised' not be a different word?
I know that I may translating more literally, but I am I completely wrong?
Saludos,
Colin
In "ellos consiguen borrar los malos pensamientos de su cabeza," why is it not "de sus cabezas" since we said "ellos"?
Hello, one of my study recommendations was tan...como. On the dashboard, the feedback indicates I should keep working on this. However, I think I've got it, and wanted to test it to move on. But when I click the quiz from my dashboard, it's over everything that is recommended that I study, and I am not ready for that. How do I just take a quiz over one topic that I think I have mastered?
If the interrogative needs cuándo then: ¿Dice la pantalla cuándo aterriza el avión?
But for a non-question: La pantalla no dice cuando aterriza el avión.
yet the Kwiziq answer is: La pantalla no dice cuándo aterriza el avión.
HELP? por favor . . .
Why can't we add these lists to our notebook? That would be extremely helpful.
Isn´t this a perífrasis? If so, it would be nice to label it with Perífrasis verbal in the title like the other ones for consistency and for searching for perífrasis to study.
