Notes for teachers
Use this test after teaching the contrast between pasiva refleja and impersonal se, or as a diagnostic before a C1 exam. It targets persistent errors such as plural agreement with personal 'a' (*se escucharon a), *hubieron/*habrán with impersonal haber, *hacen años, and *se se with reflexive verbs. As a follow-up, ask students to rewrite news headlines using each construction and discuss the differences in register and focus.
