Hi Benny, I found at a chinese-english dictionary this caracter: 好, I know it means good, but it had 2 tones one was hao3 and the other was hao2, so why is that difference? and how can I know when it’s the 3 or the 2nd tone?

That’s for sure, if you looked up the dictionary, there is another special usage of “好” which is fourth tone, it is used as a verb. I can’t find the 好 with second tone.
Impossible
