Questions & Answers about Lo de tu primo es grave porque sigue siendo sedentario.
This lesson is about 'de ahí que'. How could we rewrite this sentence to use that connector?
To use de ahí que (which means 'hence' or 'that is why'), you need to flip the cause and effect and follow the connector with the subjunctive. The cause is him being sedentary, and the effect is the situation being serious. You could say: Tu primo sigue siendo sedentario, de ahí que lo suyo sea grave.
Why do we say Lo de tu primo instead of just La situación de tu primo?
Why use sigue siendo instead of just saying todavía es?
