Minor comment: your word bank at the beginning of the exercise included the word "pellizco". The exercise used "pizca". I assume that they are interchangable?

My Spanish verbs book was silent on the verb, "cocer", also my Spanish-English dictionary, so I looked it up online.

Love learning new words. Thank you for exposing us to them.

How would you say "There is a police car there. I wonder what's going on?"? Allí hay un coche de policía. ¿Qué pasa? Allí hay un coche de policía. ¿Qu

I disagree strongly with this answer. Despite the fact that the future tense can be used for speculation, the norm in conversation is "Qué pasa?" in everyday conversations. At best, both responses should be marked correct. I think it would be well for Kwiziq to center responses on normal, everyday conversations in quizzes rather than obscure literary ones.

Translating 'despite'

Despite the considerable damage inflicted is translated as:

A pesar del hecho de que se produjeron numerosos daños

Is it possible to say 'A pesar de que se produjeron numerosos daños'?

The first one sounds like a literal translation of 'despite the fact that' and very formal

If both are correct which is the most natural?

Gracias

Les habría cogido (vs Habrían cogido)¿Les habría cogido el alud? Hola, I’m confused about the construction “les habría cogido”. Does coger require “a” after it, therefore “les”? Habrían cogido makes more sense to me. Muchas gracias.

Hacer un examen & repasar

Hizo su examen antes de haber repasado. The meaning of the English translation is not clear. I’m thinking that a better translation in American English would be “He took his exam before having reviewed.”

No l lessons about commands?

I don't recall seeing any lessons about imperatives, negative imperatives in particular. Did I sleep through them?
