Hi just a quick question. The subjuntive always causes me hassle i am just wondering could someone please confirm if this sentence is correct please. Es verdad que las conversaciones entre alumnos sean importantes I have learned 'es X que' + sub although a native speaker told me she would use "es" thanks

spot on daisk.
I don't know the rule (or exception) in this case, but as a native I can confirm that daisk is right.
in fact now that i think of it you use the indicative for "es verdad que". maybe an exception?
