Questions & Answers about El té con limón es bueno.

Why is there an el at the beginning when the English translation is just 'Tea'?
In Spanish, when you talk about things in general as the subject of a sentence, you usually need to use the definite article (el, la, los, or las). So, 'Tea is good' becomes El té es bueno.
Why does té have an accent mark?
The accent mark on té (tea) helps distinguish it from te, which is a pronoun meaning 'you' or 'to you' (like in the phrase te gustan from this lesson). Since they sound exactly the same, the written accent tells us we are talking about the drink!
Why do we use es instead of está here?
We use es (from the verb ser) because we are stating a general fact or characteristic about tea with lemon. If you were drinking a specific cup of tea right now and wanted to say how it tastes at this moment, you would use está (from the verb estar).
Would bueno change if we were talking about a feminine noun?
Yes! Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Since el té is masculine and singular, we use bueno. If we were talking about la limonada (the lemonade), which is feminine, we would say La limonada con limón es buena.
