  That’s what I initially picked up on too, but was confused how the overall sentences meaning changed. Thanks for the examples!

  Can you help me understand something about the sample sentence いうまでもないけど、それが恋こいだった ?

  Your rules say that if the phrase starts with 言うまでもない directly, then it should be followed by こと/の+だが、

  And yet when I answered 言うまでもないことが、ぞれが恋恋だった？, it was marked wrong.

  Didn’t I follow your rules? Maybe I made a typo?? I hope you can help. Sorry for the trouble.

  Hey there!

  It’s mostly because it doesn’t need to use the full structure all the time. It may be followed by ことだが, が, けど, and similar expressions, to add the nuance of ‘but’.

  Adding こと nominalizes what comes before it to further contrast or make a point, as you can see in this sentence:

  言（）うまでもないことだが、毎日（）漢字（）の勉強（）をすれば、どんどん漢字（）を覚（

  ）えることができる。

  It goes without saying that if you practice kanji everyday, you will steadily memorize them.

  The ‘that if you…’ nuance is what こと adds.

  That’s why the answer in that specific sentence needs to be けど.

  Hope this helps!
