Spanish language Q&A Forum

Thanks,

Shirley. 

Are "antes de que" and "antes que" fully interchangeable? Does one sound better than the other or is used more in one or another situation? (It could help to say this explicitly.) 

Also, you run through the various past/present/future possibilities of "después de que" noting where the subjunctive or indicative is used. You don't give as many cases for "antes de que". Is it correct to infer that regardless of whether we are referring to a past, present or future event, "antes de que" must always be followed by the subjunctive. (Might help to say so explicitly if this is the case.) 

I still don't get email notifications when new answers are posted. 

Hola,

I clicked on the link at the top of this lesson to see more info on the topic :

However, later on I tried to do a search with both these entries in the search box and on the Library page with these entries - below-  and nothing came up (except the translations - which has happened several times before):

Entries: Spanish grammar lessons for Idioms, Idiomatic Usage, and Structures and

IDIOMS, IDIOMATIC USAGE, AND STRUCTURES (your link in the lesson)

I don't understand how come this does not come out in the search.  What am I doing wrong?

 Also would it work better to search in Spanish? 

Thank you. Nicole
