Let me just throw something into this thread. Avisar is one of the verbs where the dequeísmo comes up. Keep this is mind when forming your sentences.
Los verbos advertir, avisar, cuidar, dudar e informar, en sus acepciones más comunes, pueden construirse de dos formas: advertir [algo] a alguien y advertir de algo [a alguien]; avisar [algo] a alguien y avisar de algo [a alguien]; cuidar [algo o a alguien] y cuidar de algo o alguien; dudar [algo] y dudar de algo; informar [algo] a alguien (en América) e informar de algo [a alguien] (en España). Por tanto, con estos verbos, la presencia de la preposición de delante de la conjunción que no es obligatoria (? advertir, avisar, cuidar(se), dudar, informar(se)).
