Grammar point: Relative cuanto

At level B2, mastering relative cuanto goes beyond just spotting the word; it's about using it actively and understanding its nuances, especially as a pronoun, with agreement, and in comparisons. Relative cuanto expresses "all that", "everything that", or "as much as", similar to English "whatever" or "all that". In Spanish, however, the same word also builds the pattern "the more..., the more...".
