Waiting for a twist

I kept expecting this to end with something like, “y la odio.” :)

Antes de blah

How can you start the lesson with "Antes de que and Antes que are always followed by the subjunctive. For example:"

Then in the last part of the lesson give examples without the subjunctive. That's the opposite of always.

Mistake maybe?Parece como si hubieses tenidouna pelea con alguien.It looks as if you have had a fight with someone.Doesn’t hubieses tenido mean had had (a fight)? I thought have had is “haya tenido”.

Que vs. lo, is there any difference in meaning between these two in this context? Qué bonita es/ Lo bonita que es...?

Definitive article - in or out

Buenas team,

Just to confirm - we say: me gusta el chocolate, and we also say me gusta comer chocolate?

We don't say me gusta comer el chocolate?

The definite article is always removed when we have the verb there?

Muchisimas gracias,

"debido a" que or "debido a"

Hello Inma,

I have been having difficulty choosing between the two above, I have read the lesson and the questions here.

In the lesson it states "

Debido a que

If we use debido a que, it can never be followed just by a noun, it needs a phrase."

But in your answer to a question here, you mention "debido a que" needs a CLAUSE, which is slightly different from a phrase in the text book I use to understand these things. In my book it says a PHRASE is any two or more words that don't contain a verb, but a CLAUSE needs to me able to stand by itself and be understood. Would you take a look and see if PHRASE or CLAUSE is the most appropriate for this lesson? Gracias.

Present Subjunctive Rule

Proteger becomes protejo in first person present tense. Can’t you pretty much always dro the o and have the stem for the present subjunctive? For me, it is easier to remember.
