Bueno - Confusing Word

Question

I've been studing spanish for 2 weeks now. I know how to differentiate between genders, singulars and plurals in Spanish but this word 'bueno' which i understand means 'good' is confusing and i can't understand what its different forms (buenas, buenos, bien and more) mean and where i'm supposed to use them. Can someone please tell me all the uses of all of the forms of this word?

Go to menu sroll through and do one of our lessons they are a must- do for a newbie. - ray76, Aug 17, 2016

Answer 1

This is vocabulary. There isn't simple rule for this.

1. bien is an adverb, so this steps away from the others.
2. buenas y buenos are plural forms for buena y bueno, respectively.
   • La gente es buena aquí.
   • Las personas son buenas aquí.
   • Él es bueno en lo que hace.
   • Ellos son buenos en lo que hacen.

Collective nouns in Spanish work differently, we don't use plural with these forms.

1. La gente es buenas aquí.
2. La familia es buenas en su casa.
