Yes, it must be like this: Es verdad que el sol subirá. In fact, it is true that it is an indicative, but it should be in third person: subirá. "Subiré" is for the first person (yo subiré).

There is also a little mistake. "Es hecho que" is wrong. It is said like this: "Es un hecho que".

I suppose that in English it is said "it is a fact that" with "a".

It's possible to omit the "a" (with a small shift in emphasis) but, I think, "a fact" is the (much) more common expression. - samdie, Jan 7, 2010

As I recall I believe she does. It's clearly an error, but I don't know if it's one that has been reported already. - 0074b507, Jan 7, 2010

It seems to be a typo. Even in the lesson the sentence is said to be indicative; not subjunctive - 0074b507, Jan 7, 2010

Hi asd, welcome to the sitesmile

Who says what? wink

In any case this is future tense, not subjunctive.

Es verdad que el sol subirá is the correct form.

Paralee gives this example in the 3.1 lesson but i ve configured that she says it s an indicative , however in the example, she uses subiré that must be subirá right?
