Questions & Answers about Redactaron esos decretos, los cuales emitirán mañana.
Why use los cuales instead of just que here?
In Spanish, que is the most common word for "which" or "that" and would be perfectly correct here. However, los cuales is often used in more formal, written contexts to add extra information after a comma. It must match the gender and number of the noun it refers to, which is why it takes the masculine plural form to match esos decretos.
Does redactaron mean "redacted" in the sense of censoring a document?
No, this is a common false friend. The verb redactar simply means "to draft," "to write," or "to compose" a text. If you want to talk about censoring or blacking out information, you would use a verb like censurar.
Why aren't pronouns like ellos used before redactaron and emitirán?
Because the verb endings (-aron for the past tense and -án for the future tense) already tell us that the subject is "they" or "you all". In Spanish, subject pronouns are usually dropped unless you need them for contrast or to clear up confusion.
Why is there an accent mark on emitirán?
