Passé simpleWhy is there so much emphasis (typically 4 out of 10 questions) on this tense in the CI tests? I would have thought that, at this level, tests to improve the use of idiomatic/colloquial language would be more useful. Such knowledge is frequently tested in the weekend writing challenges which are not marked by the system.
