Avant que + ne expletif + subjunctive
I realise that this is a question about "avant que + ne expletif + subjunctive" but if the subject is the same in both clauses can we not also use "avant de venir" instead?
Avant que je ne vienne, je dois acheter des fleurs. or
Avant de venir, je dois acheter ds fleurs.
This question relates to:French lesson "Avant que + ne explétif + the subjunctive mood (Le Subjonctif) = Before I do in French"

Yes, you can IRL, but in the kwizzes on this lesson, you can't. :-)
