One example drives me crazy (again). When to use pero or sino que. 

Example: Luis y yo no hemos terminado, ....... decidimos darnos un tiempo para pensar en lugar de tener que romper.

My answer = pero, because it is correct and I asked as well native speaker and they would use pero.

Strict rules instead of colloquialism @kwiziq? 

In 99% of all cases pero is correct but not in Kwiziq. 

Would it be possible to rate the answer as correct but add a hint stating that the strict rules would rate differently?

Thanks,

What is the correct translation for anchor chart in Spanish? 

For example - Students refer to the anchor charts when they need extra support. 

I stumble over pero, sino que and sino and the following example is a good one to drive me crazy. 

Elia no va a empezar el curso este año ________ va a tener un año sabático.

Pero vs Sino Que. 

For the example above both „pero“ and as weln „sino que“  were flagged as correct  and wrong in Kwiziq! 

I have checked the rules more than once and verified that with OpenAI, Mistral AI, Claude, etc and all came across with rules and explanations and all of the AI explained to use pero and when I asked again they said use sino que. So it would be nice to get your answer on it and to correct and remove the wrong answers. 

Thanks,

I had the following "En España no siempre dormimos siesta" and I looked it up and AI said the response with siesta at the end is somewhat awkward and less native is that correct?

Can i say :  ¡Qué sorpresa que estés aquí estudiando el español!

I think this lesson could be improved by including some information about using ser + para + the due date. I was thrown off by that in one of the quiz questions because even knowing to use "para" for a due date, using "ser para" to say something like "is due by" is not very clear or obvious.

I wrote many of the answers correctly. Why is my score so low? 

Looks like the plural "skirts" can take both a singular and plural for colors. Is that true of other clothing?
