Use of ‘Por qué’ in this passage...

Hola a todos,

‘Da igual cuál sea tu sueño...’

If I’m correct then I understand this sentence to mean, ‘It doesn’t matter what your dream is...’ The latter part of the sentence says, ‘it can be related to your lifestyle’. It’s the part of the sentence that says, ‘...no tiene por qué estar relacionado con trabajo...’, that I’m struggling with. I think I’m right to understand that it means, ‘it doesn’t have to be related with/to work’. I’m just not grasping the use of ‘por que’ here? Please could you explain it to me?

Many thanks

Clara :)

forms of pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo

In the phrase

"If... , they'd have given you a decent room." I understand why hubieran dado is correct, but isn't hubiesen dado also an acceptable form of the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo?

Regarding complex grammatical explanations

Regarding complex grammatical explanations: flowcharts and decision trees would be incredibly helpful adjuncts to the explanations given. The human brain responds more easily to visual representations of complex logic than it does to textual explanations. That is why they are so prominently used in science and mathematics. Just sayin'

Cada vs todo

When do you use cada & when todo? I know they're interchangeable, but is that the case always?
