Hi,
The above sentence seems to satisfy the requirements for sino: the first part is negative and the second part is a substitution.
Can you please explain why is requires pero and not sino.
Gracias y saludos.

Why can't we add these lists to our notebook? That would be extremely helpful.
I think the title of this lesson needs to be edited - it looks like it's saying "un" + "tanto/algo" + adjective. But it's saying "un tanto/ algo + adjective"" (which is how people are saying it in the discussion below).
(1) Most of the adverbs on the list are used with adjectives: demasiado verdes, muy estricta, un poco cansadas, bastante ruidoso, tan rápidamente.
(2) But mucho is different as it is used with verbs: te quiere mucho, no dormí mucho. And it wouldn’t seem to work with adjectives, for example, los platanos están mucho verdes needs to be stated as muy verdes.
(3) Tanto is different again, as it functions as a direct object. No puedes comer tanto.
Are these differences important, and should we learn more about these different categories of adverbs? Thanks.
How do learners remember when to use the "de" described above? Do native speakers learn it only from growing up with the language? I don't see any particular rule for knowing when to use the "de" and when not to--how "wrong" is it to omit the "de?"
Thank you for introducing us to this song by Amaral. I have loved the group since hearing the song Cuando Subo la Marea in the series La Casa de Papel. This was such a powerful song, and also a great one for Spanish learners, and the interactive reader helped me understand it more fully. I appreciate the varied content and learning opportunities that you provide!
I think 55% and 37% should be written in letters for the sake of pronouncing "porcentaje"
In "ellos consiguen borrar los malos pensamientos de su cabeza," why is it not "de sus cabezas" since we said "ellos"?
what differences are there between the 2?
