¡Hola!

Could you tell me if it is indicativo or subjuntivo that  follows the expression:

¿No es cierto que...?

Regards,

Alexander

Hi, I know someone asked this question earlier, but still this "ya que" bugs me.

There must be some kind of difference in choosing between "ya que" and "porque".  

Can you help me understand when to use which?  

Thank you!

Hola,

I was wondering what the English term is for "madre de día".  I have searched online and didn't find anything that would fit well.

I believe it would be "day care worker"?  

Thank you and I hope you and yours and the team and their families are all doing well in these difficult times.

One of the questions in this section was:

Mi prima ________ Miss Universo. .My cousin was Miss UniverseHINT: Conjugate "ser" in Pretérito indefinido

I got this correct (fue), because of the section it is in, but would it not be better to use the imperfect for this example?  Mi prima era Miss Universo.   There is no time frame involved, outside of being in the past.  Does it really matter? Just wondering.  Thank you.

Hello,

re: Lo que pase con tu madre no es tu culpa .  

I came across this sentence containing "Lo que" but for the life of me, can't figure out (by only looking at the Spanish) that "lo que" here means "whatever" and would therefore trigger the subjunctive. 

How can I tell what is being intended by just reading such a sentence and be able to choose between "what" and "whatever"?

Thank you,

Nicole
