Use of the personal "a"

The construction "... te permitirá conocer personas" reminded me that the personal "a" is inserted only if the object of the verb is a known human being - specifically identified .. Thank you !

[I am sure this is mentioned somewhere in one of your lessons, is it?]

Using que to state that something is already happening

I haven't seen this use of "que" before.

Ya son las tres. Andando, que llegamos tarde. It's 3 already. Let's get a move on, we're late.

¡Corriendo que nos mojamos! Hurry up, we're getting wet!

I like this. Is there a lesson on it?

Confused about same subjects

In many lessons, we're told not to use the subjunctive when we have the same subject in both clauses. Yet a few examples in this lesson don't follow this rule. Could you please help us to understand when the rule applies and when it doesn't? Thanks.

¿le gusta o le gustan, y por qué?

"En su tiempo libre a Rafa le gusta jugar al golf, pescar, leer libros, ir al cine, ver series, pasar tiempo con su familia y cocinar platos de pasta."

Here all the things Rafa do in the free time please him and make him like them, why the verb "gustar" is not in plurar, since there are more than one inf. verb, thought gustan makes more sense. Could you plesae help me out.
