"They are our leaders."

Translation: Mereka adalah pimpinan kami.

[AlistairMc244886]

pemimpin is not accepted in place of pimpinan? What's the difference?

[Billie631]

Absolutely none in this context. Should have been accepted.

I feel like the use of "adalah" is inconsistent. I can't seem to figure out when to use it and when not to use it - or if Duolingo hasn't coded the option of not using it as correct.
