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!

Mi abuela espera que ________ con ella este domingo. My grandmother hopes that I'll have lunch with her this Sunday.The answer is coma. But “have lunch” is almuerce.
Hi,
My answer "algunas vacaciones largas" was marked wrong and "unas vacaciones largas" was given as the correct answer for "some long vacations." Why is algunas wrong? The lesson doesn’t address either unas or algunas.
Thanks. K
¿Qué tiempo hace hoy? as written above is (according to my teacher from South America who speaks a high standard of Latin American Spanish) not a proper way to ask about the weather. He suggests ¿Cómo está el tiempo hoy? which is consistent with other translators I've found. I am no longer confident about the level of Spanish being taught in this program. Are the instructors native speakers who learned in their native countries?
The translation of the sentence is missing. Why is there hubieras after si?
It might be worth mentioning in Kwiziq's lesson Ya sea/ya fuera... o... to express whether... or... - [number 8284] that verbs [usually?] take the subjunctive when they are governed directly by "ya sea (que)..."

I don't understand me gustan with first person. Is this the formal version?
Re: "because I find that it's an interesting instrument."
Kwizbot porque me parece un instrumento interesante.
You porque me parece “que es” un instrumento interesante
Google translates the sentence in question: "Because I think it's an interesting instrument"
leaving out the "that" in the original text.
Would it be incorrect to have the “que es” here? How do I find out how to work the “magic” of
sentence structure. Thank you. Nicole

Hola Inma,
I really like this construction. The words "I'm warning you" or "I'm telling you" are dropped, and I imagine the full meaning would be implied by the tone of voice that the speaker uses.
I wonder whether this is like the reverse of phrases such as "Que tengas un buen día" or "Que disfrutáis el partido" where "I hope / wish" is implied and you are left with "Have a good day / Enjoy the match."??? Perhaps there is a separate lesson on this already, which doesn't come to mind right now.
Saludos
John
In one of the quizes engish scentence "After the blow, you didn't remember anything" one is asked to conjugate recordar in the El Pretérito Imperfecto tense. I used "recordaba" but this was marked as incorrect. recordabas was marked as corrrect. Why is the "You formal" conjugation not correct for the above scentence?
