Impersonal expressions: se dice, es importante que, hace falta

Spanish goes impersonal with se (se dice que...), with third-person plural (dicen que...), and with es + adjective + que, which often triggers the subjunctive.

Erklärung

Three everyday strategies: impersonal se (se come bien aquí, se dice que...), an unnamed 'they' (llaman a la puerta, dicen que va a llover), and weather/time verbs that have no subject at all (llueve, hace calor, es tarde).

Es + adjective + que takes the indicative for certainty (es verdad que viene) and the subjunctive for judgment or necessity (es importante que vengas, es posible que llueva).
