Questions & Answers about Es lógico que la visita no rompa la regla.
Why is the verb rompa instead of rompe?
Because the sentence starts with es lógico que (it is logical that), which is an expression of opinion. This triggers the subjunctive mood! Romper (to break) is a regular -er verb. To form the present subjunctive for a he/she/it subject, we drop the usual -e ending and replace it with an -a.
Why is 'the guest' translated as la visita? What if the guest is a man?
The noun la visita literally means "the visit", but it is commonly used to mean "the guest" or "the company". Because it is a feminine noun, it is always la visita, even if the guest is a man or a mixed group of people.
Does 'es lógico que' always trigger the subjunctive?
Yes! Impersonal phrases that state a judgment or opinion—like es lógico que, es bueno que (it is good that), or es triste que (it is sad that)—set up a subjective framework instead of just stating a plain fact. This means the action that follows needs the subjunctive.
Where does the negative word 'no' go when using the subjunctive?
The rules for no don't change in the subjunctive. It still goes directly in front of the conjugated verb. Here, it sits right before rompa to make no rompa (does not break).
