While experimenting with nunca in negative sentences for a while, my instinct kept telling me to include the definite article in one particular construction, where it would not be required in any of the others. 

ie. Never eat sweets before dinner (imperative)

= No comas nunca LOS dulces antes de la cena

Could you clarify for me 1) if the article is actually required here at all, or 2) if it could be used correctly as an option.

actually to pocas (if plural- pacientes)

If I am reading this correctly, you're implying that quien and quienes can also apply to things as well as people. Is that really true? It's my understanding that they can only apply to people.

¿Qué piensas?

This device is often used in story telling and especially in jokes. E.g. "A man goes into a pub and asks the barman ......" It adds a freshness and immediacy to the narrative.

A question in the quiz said “estoy viendo un documental en la tele”. Why would this not be mirando en lugar de viendo?
