translation " I count on you being here tomorrow"

Question

I want to say "" I count on you being here tomorrow"

my try: "cuento con que estés aqui mañana"

is this correct and does it sound natural enough?

and also I came across the sentence: "para mí fue el conjunto de cosas el que no me gustó"

why is it el que instead of lo que? don't really know where I can find the grammar explanation of this

thanks! I hope my spanish improves enough so I can give some decent answers to other people's questions as well :D

An aside for those learning English: "I count on YOUR being here tomorrow" is considered proper by most authorities. - jtaniel, Jun 29, 2016

Answer 1

Or you can answer even though your Spanish isn't very good. Like this:

my try: "cuento con que estés aqui mañana"
is this correct and does it sound natural enough?

I am not fluent, but it seems correct and natural to me.

"para mí fue el conjunto de cosas el que no me gustó"
why is it el que instead of lo que?

"Lo que" refers to a situation or concept, not a specific noun or pronoun. El que (like la que, los que, las que) refers to, and agrees in gender and number with, a specific antecedent.

Further explanations here and here.

thanks! and you are right,I will try to answer when I think I know it. Other people can still correct me if necessary - BenVP, Jun 29, 2016

Answer 2

"Cuento con que estés aquí mañana" es correcto y suena bien.

"aquí" lleva acento o tilde en la í.

Creo que lo correcto sería: "lo que no me gustó".
