What differentiates the 2 sentences belowWhy in the 1st sentence does the noun precede and why in the 2nd sentence does the adjective precede?
Aquel hombre pobre no tiene dinero. (Poor)
Aquel pobre hombre era muy desgraciado. (Disgraced)
The only distinction I see is the different quality described by each adjective.
---------------------------------------------
And, how does the chart below help to answer my question?
Adjective before after
pobre unfortunate poor
---------------------------------------------
It would be useful to use single spacing in this edit window. It would be a more efficient use of space, minimizing the need to scroll. I am obsessed with formatting.
Thank you, James
Thank you David and Inma for your replies.
But, is the sentence not really: (Nosostros) érasmos nosotros los que ...?
And 'los que' would mean 'ones who'?
Saludos,

I don't understand this question. What about ella hermana _______de novio. What will be the answer?
until we get on the motorway [US: freeway].
Why have you used the infinitive of 'salir' in this sentence, rather than 'salimos'?
Shouldn't it ne present simple no sabemos?

In the first example above viz. A el no imporatba lo que hubiera dicho
it reads as if I really had said something and if so, why not indicative?
en ese casa hay mucho - but as casa is feminine shouldn't it be mucha
Four examples in the lesson. In the last three ,you could translate con lo que as "despite"but that would not make sense in the first example and seems not to fit the pattern.
No sé cómo no estás agotado con lo que corres.I am surprised you are not exhausted with all the running you do. ¿Vas a salir con lo que llueve?Are you going out despite all that rain? Me sorprende que esté tan delgado con lo que come.I can't believe how thin he is given how much he eats. Con lo que me ha costado este curso y ahora no es válido.After all the effort I made to do this course and now it turns out that it's not valid.what can i do to work on my spanish.
I would like to point out that the third example does not contain any fraction.
