Grammar point: Ni que with the subjunctive
At C1, you're learning to express nuanced meanings, especially in everyday argument and in formal writing. One such nuance is rejecting a past situation as if something else, which in reality never happened, had been true. This is precisely where the pattern «ni que» with the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo becomes indispensable.
