'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.
i am confused. there is another lesson that uses deber in perfect tense and deber in present + haber to indicate assumption that something must have happened that is expressed by the main verb as infinitive or past participle. This lesson seems to be speaking of the same thing until the last part that says
Eso debe de haber caducado hace tiempo
That must have expired some time agoI am confused by this 2 very similar lessons. may you point out the differences to me?
how do I use such structure to say something must had been done as in an assumption in the past?
Why is the usage of nosotros as above been marked wrong
I was marked wrong for using “habían” when the sentence was something like “habían muchos mensajes …”. If “había” is used for one thing or many things when would you use “habían”? It sounds more natural to say “habían muchos mensajes …”
At the moment, the availabilty of these homes is very limited is translated as:
Por el momento, la disponibilidad de estas viviendas es muy reducida
Why isn't estar used here because at the moment surely implies that the situation is a temporary state?

Why is "Yo he visto a tu madre esta mañana" more correct than " vi a tu madre esta mañana" for "I saw your mother this morning"?
Os sugiero que estéis alerta.
Should not "alerta" be "alertas" as we talk to "them" plural You?
How might a speaker differentiate an inquiry of How is X? from What is X like? (Context is usually enough, but both questions are common so it'd be nice to know.)
