What is the English translation for 'alegro de que'?

  1. angry that

  2. glad that

  3. afraid of

  4. excited for

The correct answer is: glad that

The correct English translation of 'alegro de que' is "glad that." In Spanish, the word 'alegro' comes from the verb 'alegrarse,' which means to rejoice or to feel happy about something. Thus, 'alegro de que' expresses a sense of happiness or contentment regarding a particular situation or event. The other options do not convey this sense of happiness, with "angry that" indicating a negative emotion, "afraid of" reflecting fear, and "excited for" suggesting a different kind of anticipation, not necessarily linked to personal happiness or contentment with a particular outcome. Therefore, "glad that" is the most accurate translation.
