You say it's more common to drop subject pronoun but this is not reflected in the answers

wow, thanks for the good C1 dictation with interesting content and decent narration speed to practice dictation.  

This goes against everything else I have learned or am learning in the classroom  - I cannot remember two sets of rules.  Any correct answer should be marked as correct, whether the so-called Latin American version or  Spanish version.   There doesn't need to be only 1 correct answer.

Hello,

Can you please explain why in this exercise it is only correct to use preterito imperfecto in the third sentence: Teníamos que conseguir muchos puntos para acceder al tesoro escondido - even though the story starts in the indefinido tense. A few sentences later it jumps again to indefinido: Este juego nos ayudó a ser pacientes - while the rest of the sentences are in the imperfecto tense.

Thank you :)

I agree with most of the replies here. The explanation seems very confusing.

We need to be careful while translating a very single word.  About the word "cayos", if we put it in Google Translate, the translation is "key". But in context, it has a different meaning. So, there is no mistake in the word "cayos" in the text. It's a small island.

Could someone please tell me why I was told it's wrong here in this quiz?

Kqiziq (B1): El año pasado visité todas las ciudades de Cataluña ___________ Tarragona (Last year I visited all the cities in Catalonia except for Tarragona). 

The options given: menos/sino/pero/aunque/incluso. 

I chose «sino», and I was marked wrong. The correct answer was «menos». I, of course, accept «menos», but why is «sino» wrong here??

On two occasions the text moved on before I could submit my answers and on another occasion it didn't let me submit an answer as I had maybe pressed a key which triggered the "Not sure about that one?" response. 

This is a quote from kwiziq that is supposed to be explanatory, but it does not suggest a rule to know which adjectives have this form of ending. How are we to know which adjectives have this irregularity? Why can they not just follow the regular formula?
