Me alegra que ellos sean los primeros.
Why is this subjunctive? Is it because it comes after "que"? This sentence doesn't seem to express any doubt about their being the first.
Could I say "me alegra que ser el primero?" if I were talking about myself or would I have to write "me alegra que yo sea el primero"?
Hi, “on the big bedroom” doesn’t make sense in English. “In the big bedroom” makes sense and/or “on the wall in the big bedroom”. Shirley.
One of the choices was "Comportándose" which was marked wrong. However, according to this lesson, wouldn't that also be correct:
Using the Spanish gerund as a command %252Fsearch%253Fs%253Dusing%252Bthe%252Bgerund%252Bas%252Ba%252Bcommand
Maybe I'm missing some reason why it doesn't work in this case? Thanks!
In this example, "El dinero no es todo pero ayuda muchísimo" , I want to use "sino que" since the rule states that "If we need a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino, then we need to add "que" after sino."

"An impersonal statement in Spanish, e.g. "Es bueno que...", "Es importante que..." can be followed by the infinitive", no está correcta, según se puede leer más abajo en el texto.
is “Fueron vacaciones fantásticas” ok or is it awkward in spanish? Muchas gracias! Shirley.
In the test question: Después de mucho uso, la vela de cera ____doblada. I used “es” vs “está” as a bent over candle seems to be a permanent condition. Wouldn’t “es” be correct in this sentence also? Thanks
Shouldn't "Susana nos habia pedido..." translates not as "Susana has asked us...", but rather "Susana had asked us..."?
Is this course teaching the Spanish spoken in Spain or the Spanish spoken in Mexico?
In general it would be interesting to know something of the regional identity of speakers. The visit to Barcelona text is uncomplicated but at times it is hard to precisely follow the speaker even after the text has been read - his voicing of llegué just one example. He speaks slowly but would a native speaker be able to identify his accent, more or less?
