Is it correct that "quedar" can also mean "to be (located)"?
E.g. In a supermarket you might ask "¿Dónde quedan los cereales?"
One thing I find problematic (and frustrating even) about the dictation exercises is the intonation of the voice after punctuation (e.g., commas, periods, question marks, and even exclamation points) is highly inconsistent with natural speech. For example, typically speakers pause briefly after a comma, and the voice is raised sightly (or even demonstrably) after a question has been posed. These common features of natural/normal speech are too often absent and I think that is a major flaw in Kwiziq dictation exercises.

Can I use it without and with que interchangeably?
I wish the guy giving the dictation does not read como si fuera SINGING. He also does not ENUNCIATE the words whereby it is so difficult to understand!
They should drink quite a lot.They must have drunk quite a lot.They actually drank quite a lot.They couldn't drink a lot.Sorry to be persnickety--"drunk" is only an adjective in English, never a verb. "Have drank" is the correct form.
I am not able to see the text. I can only play? How can I see the text to read?
For the quiz question ¿ _____ venir a la alberca? (Do you want to come to the pool?) there are 40+ possible answers in the dropdown, including some which look like nonsense. Is this an error in the system?
I initially wrote 'A lo mejor desconoces su existencia' instead of 'puede que desconozcas su existencia' and it was marked incorrectly, could you please kindly explain why?
Can you also please explain why 'tal vez desconozcas' and 'quizás desconozcas' are incorrect, if this is the case?
