What other kinds of quizzes would you like to see on this site? One issue that I have encountered in the 'self-test' quizzes is that I can lazily rely on getting the answer by knowing that I'm going to get a question on a recent grammar point, etc, which means I'm not really thinking with any great depth, only assuming that the answer will be in reference to a recent lesson. For example, if I've just learned that por can refer to 'approximate location' I will know that that is going to be the answer when I encounter that kind of question (which might be amongst several conjugation type questions so will be even more obvious). I think the best way to address this is for the site to offer more general thematic quizzes to help consolidate certain points. For example, there could be a quiz on Por v Para which you could take after Stage A2. I would add these to the library as 'Consolidation Exercises'. Unfortunately, I think that our brains will always take the easiest route to the answer which isn't always the best way to learn.

One of the quiz questions confuses me________ la reunión ya que han llegado a un acuerdo.The meeting has come to an end because they reached an agreement.HINT: The meeting is now considered as finished
I picked the wrong answer here because in all of the examples given in the lesson, the verb dar agrees with the subject of the sentence. That wasn't the case here, I assume because this sentence is written in a passive form. The subject of this sentence is "meeting" (singular) whereas the correct verb form given is "han dado." I assume the "han" agrees with the "they" who reached an agreement?

Hint for requiring informal “hubieras”Si ________ en la entrevista, te habrían contratado. If you had lied in the interview they would have hired you.
Why is “hubiera (formal) mentido” wrong. What is the hint for using hubieras?

Question 5 in my first Qwizbot test of 02/16/21.

The question reads: Nosotros ____________ pocas cosas.” English sentence reads: “We don’t say much.” I put down “no decimos” which was marked wrong for just “decimos”. Not sure why “no” wouldn’t precede “decimos” in this sentence. Please advise. Thanks.
