Why SpanishDict grammar test do not accept right answers?

Question

Fo example here - explaination says, that "la que" is also correct, but when answering it is not accepted. It is very annoying. How I suppose to know which answer to choose if two (or more!) are correct?

If we knew the language level you have in Spanish and which language is your mother tongue we may be better able to give the correct answer , and a more respectful way of presenting your question would be appreciated. - ray76, Apr 5, 2015

Answer 1

Ah, the joys of learning a language by machine. Just because it could be used doesn't make it the best answer. This is all part of the learning process, and "How am I supposed to know which answer to choose...?"

From the machine translators you can see that the differences are not that drastic.

Ya conoces a mi hermana, acerca de la cual se oye tanto. You know my sister, about which we hear so much.

Ya conoces a mi hermana, acerca de quien se oye tanto. You know my sister, about whom we hear so much.

Ya conoces a mi hermana, acerca de la que se oye tanto. You know my sister, about which we hear so much.

Since we're talking about a person in this sentence, it would pretty much eliminate 'que', and personally, I would have said 'de quien', maybe because that's just the way I talk and I know absolutely nothing about grammar

The point is, don't be discouraged, the only answer to "How am I supposed to know...." comes through study and practice. And machine learning will always have these types of irritations
