When or another form to write "que" --- (Spanish)
I dont know when i have to use "que"...

For example:

Answer

"than" and "that" are both "que" in Spanish. The difference between those two is that:

"than" is used when we talk about comparative structures. For instance:
My brother is taller than my cousin.

"that" is used when we talk about "oraciones subordinadas" in Spanish:
My cousin told me that he had failed the exam.

"That" can be also used when we want to intensify a sentence:
My cousin is so lazy that he failed the exam.

Answer

Is not always possible to translate a word into a sentence from one language into another.
There isn't a direct translation for "que" into English.

In this case:
(Mi primo me dijo QUE fuera al cine)
"My cousin told me to go to the cinema"

But, of course "to" doesn't mean "que" in Spanish.

I hope it helps ^_^

Answer

Thanks Jesús. So, I use than for comparative and that for all..?

My cousin told me that...
