Simple past pedir and competir/servir

Hi,

I'm just wondering why didn't you group pedir with competiir/servir into one lesson. Their semi regular pattern with changes in the 3rd person only appear to be identical, and it would streamline the process.

What does it mean?“los cuales vienen a ser los creativos“ from Diseñador, Sastre, Modista dictado. I read Venir a + infinitive but it doesn’t make sense to me. Thanks!

Still confused

In the sample sentences "¿Pudiste contactar con tu abogado?" and "¿Has podido contactar con Gabriel?" are there contextual clues that explain why one is indefinite and the other is perfect? Do they have different meanings?

Definite article?

Puse solo la mitad de la harina en el bol.

I only put half the (quantity of) flour in the bowl.

Ella tiene el doble de hermanos que él.

She has twice as many siblings as he does.

Why is it de LA harina, but not de LOS hermanos? Is the definite article always skipped after doble de? There was a quiz question for "________ tiempo" meant to be filled with doble. Would it be "el doble de" or "el doble del"?

Correction of English

English text had an issue: "explaining it's working"?? - not correct. You would say perhaps, "explaining how the gym worked, or functioned (in general - thus the rules of the gym, or how to use the gym), or explaining how a particular machine worked.

debido a que vs. que

Didn't we learn in another lesson that we could substitute "que" for "porque"? Does that mean "debido a que" and "que" are also interchangeable via the transitive property? I feel like either I am misremembering or there are some nuances I'm not picking up on.
