familia es singular o plural?

Hola Edward
We need "les" here because the pronoun is referring to "them", not to "la situación de la familia", so we have:
La situación de la familia = subject of the sentence
les = Indirect object pronoun (them/ to them)
entristece = verb in 3rd p sing agreeing with the subject "la situación"
I hope this clarified it
Saludos
Inma
