antes que/antes de

Hello, in this example linked to the lesson : So my question is when is it antes de and when is it antes que ? Is antes de only for temporal subjects (antes de la cena...) ? And is there also después que ? Thank you.

No es justo que vosotros antes que nosotros. (It's not fair that you'll die before us.) HINT: Conjugate "morir" in El Presente de Subjuntivo.

Eran las cartas de amor entre mi abuelo y mi abuela durante la guerra, cada uno en un bando.

Shouldn't it be "cada UNA en un bando" if it's referring to the cartas?

Achieving fluency is possible here.

This is not hyperbole.
I have had much experience with more than 10 other language learning websites and I can testify to the fact that this is the only one that makes fluency an achievable

goal for language lovers.

Can't seem to match up to my improvement timeline percentages

Have any of you struggled to fulfil the expectations of the improvement timeline? The grey line is always at least 4 percentages above my progress. What does it look like for you? Are you managing? Are you ahead? Let me know

no lo se

Hi,

In this sentence: Vienes conmigo al cine? -________. Estoy cansada.

Why are both "no se" and "no lo se"correct, if it is expressing doubt?

Thanks
