Learn Spanish (Latin America): Para leer los comentarios de la comunidad, tienes que registrarte. - To read the community's comments, you have to register.

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" (tú), the pronoun becomes te.

Could I place the te somewhere else in the sentence?
