Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hello,

I am confused.  I am trying to sort out the diffences but I don't see it.

For example, in the sentences:  both mean: It is good that you study every afternoon.

Es bueno que estudies todas las tardes.

Está bien que estudies todas las tardes.

Es + bueno [adjective]
Está + bien [adverb]

Can you show the relationships for each?

Any difference at all in the individual meaning?

And why would you use one over the other? And under what circumstances?

Any other lessons to clarify this?

As you can tell, I’m confused! Help. J

When does the o-ending in the 3rd person pretérito indefinido get a tilde (like "oyó) and when doesn't it?

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
