I know that は is used for general purposes when describing something with an
adjective, and が is more suited for specific things, but in the examples below
which sentence is correct?

> 先生の言ったこと **は** 大体正しいからきちんと聞かないとだめです。

> 先生の言ったこと **が** 大体正しいからきちんと聞かないとだめです。

question
grammar adjectives は-and-が
は or が to describe something with an adjective
Both sentences are correct, but they mean different things.

先生の言ったこと **は** 大体正しい is a description of a general fact, "What your teachers
say (every day) is correct most of the time". On the other hand, 先生の言ったこと
**が** 大体正しい means "What the teacher (just) said is correct for the most part".
This is used when the teacher's specific opinion and someone else's opinion
are at odds right now.
