Feelings and emotion

être content que

Subjunctive

Example

Je suis content que tu sois venu.

Do not write

Je suis content que tu es venu.

Why

You are not stating that he came, you are stating how you feel about it. The fact moves to the background, which is why this whole family takes the subjunctive, even when the fact is perfectly real.
