Ending with a consonant

Hi,

Sometimes a word ending with a consonant takes the diminutive suffix 'illo' and other times it takes 'cillo'. Is there a rule for this or do we have to remember which is which?

Best regards,

Colin

disminuyó / disminuyeronEl año pasado el número de accidentes ________ considerablemente.Last year the number of accidents reduced considerably.(HINT: Conjugate "disminuir" in El Pretérito Indefinido)
my answer was wrong - am I correct in thinking that it is because el número is singular and therefore you don't use the plural disminyeron for the plural accidentes
many thanksdisminuyódisminyeron

articles in front of non-paying lifestyles

What about using an article in front of being a stay at home parent? Soy madre. Soy padre. Is there an equivalent of this in the Spanish language?

Notebook quiz question choice

Hi there, I have (belatedly) discovered Notebooks and am finding these a great way to test myself across different levels and hone in on my weak points. I've added a load of lessons, but it feels like it's focussing very much on the higher level (B2) ones. I want to interleave my practice with my weak points from A2 and B1 too.

Question: how does it decide which lessons to test from a notebook? Is it random? Or based on your current %? Or something else?

Also, I'd LOVE a feature where it just quizzes you from your weakest lessons *of those you have already been quizzed on*, across all levels. Basically that's what I'm trying to achieve.

Querer questionHola. Does "quise" imply that the person is now a dentist and that that was always their intention? The lesson is perfect vs simple past, but I see the English and want to use the imperfect. Siempre __________________ ser dentista. I always wanted to be a dentist

Word bank in beginning? Also verb Cocer.

Greetings!

Minor comment: your word bank at the beginning of the exercise included the word "pellizco". The exercise used "pizca". I assume that they are interchangable?

My Spanish verbs book was silent on the verb, "cocer", also my Spanish-English dictionary, so I looked it up online.

Love learning new words. Thank you for exposing us to them.
