Pondering subjunctiveIt appears to me that by deciding to use subjuctive in the second clause of the sentence, creates the doubt. Therefore, however I set up the statement does not really matter. Generally, I will have created doubt. I am guess that generally the doubt it pushed onto the first clause, meaning:
Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.
I am pleased that you have travelled to different countries.
Me alego (I am pleased, as long as it was pleasing, but maybe it was not so pleasing for you afterall)... or is it that I am pleased, but you may not have really travelled the world. Which is the sentiment? Am I on the right track? I am guessing the first.
What is the sentiment if I were to say "Estoy feliz que hayas viajado a diferentes países".

Hi
For this phrase;
Se necesitan médicos con experiencia en ese hospital.
My instinct would be to translate it as necesitan - the same as English 'they need - but I normally look at Spanish nouns like Hospital & Gente as singular - so I might say "se necesita médicos". What is up with my logic here? Ta
HELP: Translation of "He goes to his friend's house"
1 Va a la casa de su amigo
2 Va a casa de su amigo
Is the definite article "la" casa necessary or does it make no difference?
Are both correct with no subtle difference in meaning?
I have searched the internet and KWIZIQ and can find no answer.
Many thanks,

A question in a quiz asked No es bueno beber ___________ alcohol. The answer was tanto but I chose demasiado. don't they both essentially mean the same thing? Or is there a distinction in Spanish? Thanks
“Maria told us there was a meeting at 4”
hubo is incorrect here, but I thought with a set time it became ‘hubo’? What am I missing?
I was taught podrías means could when talking about the future and podía means could when talking about the past. Is this wrong?
The question
________ a vuestra pregunta.I am answering your question.HINT: Conjugate "contestar" in El Presente Continuo.
I understand the answer Estoy contestando buy why is the preposition "a" included in the original sentence. "Vuestra pregunta" is not a person. Estoy contestando a vuestra amiga
Oportunidad is a feminine noun. Why was it marked wrong when I wrote grande? The correction was to gran.
