La regla · The rule
Beyond porque: dado que (given that), en la medida en que (insofar as), debido a (owing to) — and on the consequence side, de ahí (hence), de modo que (so that), hasta el punto de que (to the point where).
Y también · And also
Dado que el tren está cancelado, partiremos en carro — de ahí un retraso de dos horas. Dado que and en la medida en que take a clause; debido a takes a noun; de ahí que takes the subjunctive: de ahí que llegáramos tarde.
Ojo · Watch out
de ahí + noun (de ahí el retraso); de ahí que + subjuntivo (de ahí que llegáramos tarde). debido a takes a noun, debido a que a clause. And cancelado is the everyday word; suspendido is what a notice prints.
partir, futuro — the table
yo partiré · tú partirás · él/ella/usted partirá · nosotros partiremos · ustedes partirán · ellos/ellas partirán
Do it now — on paper
Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with dado que.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write out partir, futuro in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.
