por v. para 3Thank you Silvia,
In "La vida de Eva (B1)" gapfill test we have:
"Eva siempre ha sido una persona que nunca toma decisiones por dinero o por conveniencia. Su familia la quiere mucho y, para ser sinceros, ha hecho muchos sacrificios ______ sus hijos."
The hint for the gap is:
"she has made many sacrifices for her children."
the accepted answer is "por"; "para" is marked wrong.
The explanation given for this is:
"Lesson: Using por (not para) to express the originating cause or reason"
Could you please help me to see
why "for" is interpreted here as indicating the "cause" and not the "recipient"?
"Sería tan romántico que mas las diera" is a B2 construction.
I understand that no articles are used in negatives
e.g no hay tienda
Therefore, I am asking whether you would also drop the article in this sense?
e.g hay el de rojo--> no hay de rojo?
Marta y yo ________ 200 km a la semana para ir a trabajar.
Marta and I travel 200 km a week to go to work.(HINT: Conjugate "hacer" in El Presente)

We want exercises with answers would be very useful
This is my first impression of Kwiziq. I came here to develop listening skills, but my impression is that Kwiziq is mostly oriented toward grammar.
Basic audio controls like pause and rewind are missing. The "vocabulary" help is hardly more than a rough (thought for thought) translation, not a detailed explication of the literal meaning / etymology /gender /conjugation of the words. There seems to be no control of the playback speed.
Being a newbie, I may have missed something. If so, please enlighten me.
It should be......how many people are there in Barcelona........I am English, this sounds more natural to me
Seems like I have seen hacer used in sentences like this. For example. El hizo re hipotecar la casa. Is this correct? Possible?
In answering this question, I used "excepto por". The lesson doesn't cover this option, but I have seen it in written Spanish.
Except for the white one, all the t-shirts are cool.
