Questions & Answers about Para leer los comentarios de la comunidad, tienes que registrarte.

Why do we use Para at the beginning of the sentence instead of Por?
In Spanish, para followed by an infinitive verb (like leer) is used to express purpose or a goal, translating to "in order to." Here, it sets up the condition: "In order to read the comments."
Comunidad refers to a group of people. If it were the subject of a sentence, would it take a singular or a plural verb?
Unlike the partitive phrases in this lesson (such as la mayoría de los usuarios), a simple collective noun like la comunidad always takes a singular verb. You would say La comunidad lee (The community reads), never La comunidad leen.
Why is the te attached to the end of registrarte?
Registrarse is a reflexive verb here, meaning "to register oneself." When an infinitive verb follows a conjugated verb phrase like tienes que, you can attach the reflexive pronoun directly to the end of the infinitive. Since the subject is "you" (), the pronoun becomes te.
Could I place the te somewhere else in the sentence?
Yes! When an infinitive is attached to a phrase like tener que, you have the option to place the pronoun right before the conjugated verb. It is completely natural and correct to say te tienes que registrar instead of tienes que registrarte.
