| Thanks TDOL, but I think the indicative (as opposed to the subjunctive) could mean the same thing. A-It is good that he goes there and not me. But here again I get the impression that he actually does go there. B-It is better that he should go there and not me. I don't know if one can tell if this implies a condition: It would be better IF he went that and not me. or the indicative It is better (now) THAT he goes there and not me. |

| The indicative would work with that meaning, too. I agree. |
