Puedo escribir lo que quiera y no es tan agobiante como para que me lo encuentre dificilísimo y no quiera continuar. = I can write what I want and it’s not so overwhelming that I find it very difficult and do not want to continue. My question is why is para que used here? Does it carry the meaning of in order to, so that? Because translation shows otherwise not indicating the subordinate clause as goals. And tan… Como is used here. Does it have another meaning when used with para que ?
Is it too simplistic to say that:
Sentir is followed by a Noun or que, and
Sentirse is followed by an Adjective/Adverb or como.
Now that I write it out, perhaps it's not easier to remember.

Álvaro va a trabajar en un bar este verano.
Sometimes the English is contrived to make a point in relation ta a specific lesson. These can be quite false. To say Alvaro is working in a bar this summer means it is now summer and that is what Alvaro is doing. If asked: "What is Alvaro going to be doing this summer?" the response could well be : " He's workking in a bar this summer" meaning that is what he is going to do.
Why not give the English as " Alvaro is going to work" OR " is going to be working in a bar this summer". ?. it is less artificial and makes much more sense. (And is less irrtating)
How would you say "her/his leg hurts"? Would it be "Ella/El duele la pierna”?

' We must take to the pharmacy all medication which has expired'
Could this not mean 'all medication which may have expired' and therefore be subjunctive?
Thank you Inma for further clarification. I have enjoyed this site, but the one thing I would like to see in the lessons are these kind of comparisons. Just my recommendation. I do appreciate the work you do.
Please, what is the difference between usted, ustedes and vosotros?
Hi, can we use antes and despues for dates? For example "before Friday" or "after Monday".
