When to use articlesHi,
In the translated text above, these terms all get the articles, however, in the test, they all don't.
i.e.:la astronomía, y en las matemáticas. También, trabajaron en la agricultura y el comercio"
in the test, it corrected me, so I'm a bit confused:
Could you please let me know when you can/cannot use the article "le,la,las" etc in front of these:
The test examples:
Kwizbot Los aztecas destacaron en astronomía,
You Los aztecas destacan en la astronomía,
You could also say: Los aztecas destacaron en la astronomía,
Kwizbot También, trabajaron en la agricultura
You También, trabajaron en agricultura
[note: here I dropped the article and it didn't correct me]
Well done! and in mathematics.
Your answer matched mine: y en matemáticas.
Thank you for your help and have a great day!

Indirect objects/pronouns are clearly necessary in certain cases such as when pegar is used to mean "to hit" someone/something as in "Le pega al hermano" for "He hits his brother." (Golpear takes a direct object as in "Golpeo la pelota y ella la golpea también" as in "I hit the ball and she hits it too.")
However, when given the sentence (in Duolingo):
"Did you see the goalie stopping all of their penalties"
why are the translations:
1) "Viste al portero atajándoles/parándoles/deteniéndoles todos los penales" accepted
while the translations:
2) Viste al portero atajándo/parando/deteniendo todos sus penales aren't accepted?
I know that we use object pronouns in place of possessives with body parts most of the time and sometimes with clothing as in "Me pongo los guantes" for "I put on my gloves" but why #2 supposedly unacceptable (or is it acceptable also)?
Any help would be appreciated as I can find no clear explanation and most translators actually give #2 as the answer.
Esta guerra habrá de acabar con la esperanza de paz de la gente.This war will put an end to people's hope for peace.
No te preocupes por lo que nunca ha de pasar.Don't worry about what will never happen.
Why is this second example not taking "haber" in the future tense also? Or is it just a bad English translation?
“La enciclopedia ESTÁ para vosotros” but I got a wrong answer for writing está?

I would like to practice with possessive adjectives & pronouns, especially with the third person singular and plural
Where, in this rich Qwizik, can I find this kind of exercises ?
Thanks !
In the example sentence. "Nos felicitaron porque habíamos aprobado todo con una nota alta," why is haber in the imperfect? I think of passing or failing something as something that happens in a moment -- you receive your grade and either it is pass or fail -- not as an ongoing state of being. Could one say "hubimos aprobado" or would that be wrong?
the 'tu' form of ganar in the subjunctive is gana not ganes. It is only ganes in the negative.
One of the questions testing the present subjunctive of haber is:
Los pájaros irán donde ________comida.
With the correct answer being haya.
I understand the subjunctive being used in cases of hope, desire etc but I don't understand why it is used in this case rather than 'hay'.
Thanks.
