Son muy populares los siguientes platos:  The following dishes are very important

I am confused as to why this sentence is ordered in this way. Why does Los siguientes platos precede son muy populares?

thanks 

I know that this construction (using cómo si + indicative to express indifference) is common in colloquial speech.  My question:  Is this a currently officially excepted grammatical construction by the RAE?  I found one source that says that the RAE says that this construction is common but must be considered incorrect.  But I am not sure if I’m looking at the most appropriate or most updated source.

I just took one of the B1 quizes and I got this one wrong:

La había comprado para sus padres. ________ la había comprado. (He'd bought it for his parents. He'd bought it for them.)

It says the answer is "Se la habia comprado." I put "Por ellos, la había comprado."

Is it ever correct to "por" whoever, instead of "se"?

It sounds more natural to me to say "La había comprado por ellos," rather than "Se lo había comprado." It also seems clearer because "ellos" is specific (them), where as "se" could be you, him, them...

Is that wrong? Less common? Common only in certain countries or situations?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to take the DELE B2 exam and I have a question about the reading section. I know that part of the reading exam tests grammar through gap-fill exercises. I’m wondering: how much does this overlap with the grammar content taught in Kwiziq B2 courses?

In other words, if I master all the grammar lessons on Kwiziq (assuming my vocabulary is sufficient), would I likely be able to pass the reading section comfortably, say, at least 20/25 points?

I’m not asking about listening, speaking, or writing, just the grammar-related part of reading.

Thanks in advance for any insights from those who have taken the exam!

Why is it not an option to say "en caso de que tengas paladar dulce"?

Esta ha sido la competición más importante que jamás se haya celebrado. Why not celebrada to agree w/competición? Thx

Hi, my initial thought was that we would rather use an article before the noun in the following sentence: "...que el candidato conozca el derecho internacional". Could you please explain?
