Questions & Answers about Me alegro de que el inversionista de quien recibimos la inversión sea tan joven.
Why do we use de quien here to say "from whom"?
Since we are referring to a person (el inversionista) right after a preposition (de, which means "from" here), we use quien (or quienes for plural). You cannot use just a plain que after a preposition when referring to a person.
Why is the verb ser in the subjunctive form (sea) at the end of the sentence?
Why is there a de before que in Me alegro de que?
In Spanish, the verb for being glad or happy about something is alegrarse de. When you link it to a new phrase using que (that), the de stays attached. Leaving it out (me alegro que...) is a very common mistake for English speakers!
Why does inversionista end in an "a" if it is masculine (el inversionista)?
