Lo que

Hola,

Why doesn't the topic include the relative pronoun "lo que"?

Hola Inb c.

Thanks for your question! We actually cover lo que in this separate competency, as it has a different usage from el que / la que / los que / las que. In this lesson, the focus is specifically on those forms that agree in gender and number with a noun.

Lo que” works differently because it’s a neuter relative pronoun and doesn’t refer to a specific noun with gender. For that reason, we teach it in its own dedicated competency to keep things clear and avoid mixing two distinct structures.

That lesson goes into detail about when and how to use lo que correctly.

Hope that helps!

Un saludo

Silvia
