Angela's really messed up

I'm really getting concerned for Angela. She's not making good decisions bouncing from one man to another. She needs more self-respect. This is so sad and so common now. Women are so sexualized that they don't see their own value.

Why is it muchos años I understood mucho stays singular in front of a noun. I assume it is mucho fruta y verduras because it is a group.

Hacer falta

Hola,

Is it always hace falta, or again is it subject dependent?

If I wanted to say 'we need to sand the furniture' do we say 'hacen falta lijar los muebles' as muebles is plural?

Gracias,

English explanation

Please correct the English in these (and other) exercises. Native speakers of English would not say something is "different to". We say, it is "different from". 

E.g., English is different from Spanish in that we use the apostrophe to show the possessive

Para ello? “celebraremos la despedida de soltera de Paula y para ello,”.

Why “ello”? Despedida is feminine.

adverbs in que

In the quiz, I got the sentence

Antes de que tú digas nada, .... ( before you say anything )

Why is 'nada' here ? Can it be 'algo' ?

Another example from the other lesson is, though I don't remember the exact phase but it's like

No creo que hayan llegado todavía.

The original phase to be denied should be 'han llegado ya'. Again, why it changed to 'todavía' ?

I agree that whole expression has something negative, which hasn't happened yet. But I'm confused, because the phase in 'que' is totally affirmative.

So the expression in 'que' isn't independent from its use ? And how ?
