how can i know when to use  the subjunctive or  the indicative with Lo + adjetivo + es que+ subjuntivo / indicativo for example lo importante /raro /bueo 

how can i know when to use  the subjunctive or  the indicative with Lo/la + noun + es que+ subjuntivo / indicativo for example la idea /cuestion/cosa 

Do we use' el que'  with subjunctive ?

it seems to be a typo in the above exercise. It says "damos" instead of "vamos"

Hola,

I think " te voy a enseñar" is also valid. Isn't it?

vuelvo vs. volviendo    i thought iendo=ing     when the chicos vuelvan... they return.   isn't 'are returning' estan volviendo???

could you, please, explain why " mi corazón me iba a explotar/estalar" is not valid? I' ve always had a problem with this kind of expression. 

Saludos

In the test question: ¿Quién es ________ de tus amigos? (Who is the most generous of your friends?)

I incorrectly assumed that because "de tus amigos" doesn't specify the gender of "Quien es" in Spanish, that "lo" would be appropriate rather than "el" (correct answer). Because only the response can reveal the gender e.g. - "Carla es la más generosa de mis amigos" o "Jorge es el más generoso de mis amigos". In other words, why is "el" correct in this case even if the "quién es" might turn out to be female? (I did notice that the hint was "generous = generoso" but (falsely?) assumed it was being generic rather than specifying un amigo masculino).

Can you please clarify?

Thank you

I was lead to believe that Que is used with Estar and Cual with Ser.
