Difficult - but good for us !

Thank you Silvia ! ... It was probably more like a C2-level exercise, but we do of course benefit from having to make that extra effort ... Un abrazo - David M

escuchar + noun

Listen to the birds sing.

I put ' escuchar al canto de los pájaros'. I don't understand why this is incorrect as another option given was 'escuchar a los pájaros cantar'

I'm not sure when I can use escuchar + a

Gracias

Is it really that simple?

While I understand the explanation via timeframes and don't want to complicate things unnecessarily, this made me think:

Can't I use the imperfect (progressive) with such timeframes, too?

Ayer estaba limpiando la casa. (Should be ok.)
Ayer entre la 1 y las 2 estaba limpiando la casa. (?)
Ayer entre la 1 y las 2 estaba limpiando la casa cuando algo me asustó. (Should be ok.)

That is, can't the imperfect (progressive) be used with an explicit timeframe, too, as long as its function is descriptive or establishing a background, i.e. as long as the aspectual semantics are imperfective within the timeframe?

DELE B2 Reading Grammar vs Kwiziq B2 Course - Any Overlap?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to take the DELE B2 exam and I have a question about the reading section. I know that part of the reading exam tests grammar through gap-fill exercises. I’m wondering: how much does this overlap with the grammar content taught in Kwiziq B2 courses?

In other words, if I master all the grammar lessons on Kwiziq (assuming my vocabulary is sufficient), would I likely be able to pass the reading section comfortably, say, at least 20/25 points?

I’m not asking about listening, speaking, or writing, just the grammar-related part of reading.

Thanks in advance for any insights from those who have taken the exam!

How is dictation scored?

I made some errors, had some typos, some dropped plurals, missed accents, etc., but I got most of it right. But then the score said "0 out of 60. Missed your morning coffee?" I think I do not understand how the dictation is scored. Could you please explain?
