Questions & Answers about La mayoría de los clientes se registran para ver el contenido.

Why is the verb se registran plural if the subject starts with the singular phrase La mayoría?
When a singular collective noun like mayoría is followed by a plural noun like los clientes, Spanish allows the verb to be either singular (se registra) to match the collective noun, or plural (se registran) to match the plural noun. Using the plural is called sense agreement and is very common here because the focus is on the individual clients doing the action.
Why do we use se registran instead of just registran?
The verb registrarse is used here because the clients are registering themselves (signing up or creating an account). If you just used registran without se, it would mean the clients are searching or inspecting someone or something else.
Why use para instead of por before ver?
We use para when talking about a goal, purpose, or destination. Here, it translates to 'in order to.' The clients are registering with the specific goal of seeing the content.
Do I always need to include los before clientes in phrases like this?
Yes, in Spanish, phrases like la mayoría de almost always require the definite article before the noun that follows it. While in English you might just say 'the majority of clients,' Spanish requires la mayoría de los clientes.
