so I was doing bunpro and came across this:
I couldn’t find any reference to this rule.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?

In cases like these, nouns and な-adjectives, you need to put a copula, like だ or です, before が and けど.
彼は漢字が嫌いだけど、文法が好き。
Conversely, for い-adjectives you don’t need to add anything.
so it’s a very specific rule (na/noun + ka/kedo needs da) or am I missing something bigger?
Just in general when you use those types of conjunctions like から、が、けど、し、with na-adjectives and nouns you’ll need to add da or desu. 嫌いだから、嫌いだし、嫌いだけど as opposed to i-adjectives which are okay on their own, 赤いから、赤いし、赤いけど etc.
There are some exceptions with grammar points like ので, where again i-adjectives remain unchanged but na/nouns add a な before the ので e.g, 嫌いなので, but it follows the same pattern where you need to add something before.
Does that kind of make sense?
