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!

Hi!
After going through this lesson, I understand that these endings are used to soften the words, and in some cases I understand why you would use it, but there are also some cases where I'm not sure why you would use it. For example, for "hace calorcillo", why would you want to soften this sentence? I can't see what the meaning would be?
Hola,
I never received a reply to my 2nd question below, it starts like this:
"Hello Inma,
Thank you so much for your patience and reply.
I was wondering, is there a way I can find my questions and answers received within my page....."
see below for the full question, thank you.
I have seen “sometimes” translated as a veces. Is that wrong? Should it always be algunas veces?
HI
I used 'cuando suene la alarma' and was corrected to 'cuando suena la alarma'. I notice that an alternative could be 'cuando suene el despertador' so would my original translation, using the subjunctive with 'la alarma', be ok to use?
Many thanks

Answer given : Estoy vendiendo . My answer marked wrong was : yo estoy vendiendo. Is that just because I wrote yo and not Yo ? If so that seems rather harsh.
In the Yucatan in Mexico, I have heard el derecho for straight ahead. It is quite confusing with 'la derecha' for the right. Todo recto is much better!
