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??

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.  

Is this lesson demonstrating the use of the PRESENT perfect subjunctive after "esperar" or the PAST perfect subjunctive? If the former, why is it referred to as "Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo", if we ordinarily translate the word "pretérito" as "past"?

                                                           OR

To phrase this question differently, when I use "haya", "hayas", "haya", etc. plus the past participle of a verb, am I using the Present perfect subjunctive, or the Past perfect subjunctive, or, in fact, is there another name, English and/or Spanish for this conjugation?

mnemonic.

Thank you, Kim

Hola Team Kwiziq,

Is it incorrect to place the No in a  No...nunca construction before the pronoun? I notice that one can say "No comes chocolate nunca" which made me believe that the no is always at the beginning of the sentence.

However "No nostotros te mentiríamos nunca" was incorrect and so was "No él estuvo intersesado".  I am guessing that no can be in front of a verb where the pronoun is implied (comes) but not in front of an  explicit subject pronoun (tú comes). Is this correct? Can you elaborate?

Can someone please tell why is it Los padres paseaban con sus hijos por el parque.

instead of Los Padres estaban paseando con sus hijos por el parque.

Por favor ayudarme! :)

In this usage, it is similar to gustar, correct?  If so, it might be helpful to add a statement indicating that, and perhaps rename the section to: Sobrarle con algo: To have more than enough with something.

When inverted verbs like gustar are taught, it would be great if they were consistently shown with "le"  throughout kwiziq  lessons to indicate an inverted verb that uses indirect object.   

Having the associated preposition that typically goes with the verb is great, too.

Thanks for considering this.
