  • We are grateful that your parents are safe and sound.
  • He was overjoyed that his parents were safe.
  • They were thrilled that their parents were safe and sound.

Alternatives:

  • I am so happy to know your parents are safe

I am so happy your parents are safe

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used when expressing happiness about the safety of someone's parents. The omission of 'that' does not change the meaning of the sentence.

Examples:

  • I am so happy your parents are safe after the storm.
  • She is relieved your parents are safe and sound.
  • We are grateful your parents are safe and sound.
  • He was overjoyed your parents were safe.
  • They were thrilled your parents were safe and sound.

Alternatives:

  • I am so happy that your parents are safe
  • I am so happy because your parents are safe
  • I am so happy to hear that your parents are safe
  • I am so happy knowing your parents are safe
  • I am so happy to know your parents are safe
Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different structures. The first phrase includes the word 'that' before 'your parents,' while the second phrase omits 'that.' Both versions are commonly used and convey the same meaning.
