Question 15 • HS Spanish III B LMS (IS)
“Estar contento” expresses an emotion, and Spanish uses the subjunctive in a dependent clause introduced by “que” when the main clause expresses an emotion. For example, “Estoy contento de que estés aquí” uses “estés” in the subjunctive. The phrase is often written “estar contento de que,” but it still triggers the subjunctive.
