When talking about past actions we can also use it with the subjunctive, but this makes it sound more formal.

Spanish names for:

 a ball valve

Inside or female threads 

male or outside threads

What does this expression mean?

I thought there was supposed to be an article for the things we like except for people or places. Example says "Le gusta comer pescado." Inspead of Le gusta comer el pescado.

I was glad that my father came to see me=Me alegré de que mi padre viniera a verme but

I was glad because my father came to see me=Me alegré porque mi padre vino a verme

and

It saddens me that my father came to see me=Me entristece que mi padre viniera a verme

but

It saddens me because my father came to see me=Me entristece porque mi padre vino a verme

I have seen this with other expressions of feeling and when I put it into various translators I always get the same thing.  I realize that changing from "that" to "because" slightly changes the meaning but why does it go from subjunctive to indicative in going from "que" to "porque?"

is it not more common, due to the context to say "voy a preparar los documentos" vs" Mis documentos" in Castilian Spanish?
