Usage notes
- See dequeísmo.
- The de in this complementizer should not be confused with de used as a preposition required by a verb (for example hablar (“talk”), which usually requires de (“about”) when used with que), such as in "Los políticos te hablan de que van a cambiar las cosas pero nunca lo hacen." — "Politicians tell you they're going to change things but they never deliver.", where "te hablan de que van a cambiar las cosas" literally means "they talk to you about that they're going to change things". This kind of prepositions required by the verb are called complementos de régimen in Spanish.
