My opinion

These exercises have helped me strenght the grammar topics that I have already seen, practicing also
helps me recognize what my errors are and focus on them to correct them.

Vocabulary is also important so it also helps me add words that I don´t know.

The truth is that the exercises were simple and quick to do, that´s what I liked too.

I believe that practicing is never too much and that is the only way you learn.
