I know that we can put tú before or after the verb in questions:
“¿Tú comes mucha carne?” or “¿Comes tú mucha carne?”
Is it equally common to use either order in statements?
“Tú comes mucha carne.” or “Comes tú mucha carne.”
Thanks.
Lessons say lo que expands/gives more info on some idea expressed in the same sentence, and que= a noun. I get that que=that restaurant (noun) but with lo que: "Aquel restaurante, que/ el cual / lo que (I put-wrong) Al recomendó, tiene unos postres exquisitos. It seems that lo que expands on "that restaurant" by giving more info about it with: "it has some exquisite desserts." I did the same with "Tengo un sillón en casa que/el cual /lo que (I put-wrong) está sucio." With "is dirty" giving more info/ expanding on the chair. Is there a different way of explaining that might click with me?

Is there a preferred form?

Hello, i am confused by this paragraph below: it states that this rule is relevant when there are direct or indirect pronouns in a sentence with a conjugated verb that is followed by an infinitive or a present participle but then provides an example that has a gerund after the conjugated verb and no example with a present participle. Is this an error?

This is from an example in a lesson. the response given is: Desde pequeño. That seems incomplete to me. Would it be correct to say: Desde era pequeño.
En la última frase, por qué se escribe "sería cumplir..."? A mi no tiene sentido. No sería mejor decir: "Ser escritora cumpliría mi mayor sueño"?
Why is the passage below la instead of lo?
