Es + adjetivo ... + subjuntivo (¿siempre?)

Es + adjetivo ... + subjuntivo (¿siempre?)
 

Entiendo enunciados como: Es fenomenal que mi amigo haya ganado la lotería. = "Es + adjetivo + que + subjuntivo."

¿Hay casos en que "es + adjetivo + que ... " no antecede el subjuntivo sino el indicativo? ¿Pueden darme ejemplos, por favor?

Muchas gracias!!

Se puede usar así:

Es fenomenal, el venir acá, sentarnos y disfrutar del atardecer.

Es obvio que no siempre es así. (it may be also an opinion, but it is introduced as a part of the collective knowledge, so indicative)

There's a narrow collection of adjectives, I think, that allows these "evident truths".

But mostly "es + adjective" is used to tell an opinion, so the verb within the opinion is in either subjunctive* or indicative, because you are declaring your opinion, not the fact you're telling your opinion about. When the adjective is nominalized it can be both opinion or a fact that is being declared:

Lo malo es que me gritara. [known fact]
Lo peor es que me lo dijo a los gritos. [new information]

*If you are to use subjunctive, articulate the clause by using the conjunction "que" that glues both parts of the sentence and tells the brain how to parse it.

Using that construction? No.

Es bueno que vengas
Es malo que vayas
Es doloroso que haya muerto

;)

Thanks, y'all - very helpful!! :rose:
