Qué delicioso

Hola Inma,

Cociné esta comida la semana pasada y es aún mejor que se puede imaginar. La combinación de las verduras [pimientos rojas y verdes y tomates] en un caldo de pescado es perfecto para un día frío .... pero no te olvides al menos dos dientes de ajo. Las patatas terminan la textura del plato perfectamente. Tenemos la suerte tener pescaderías excelentes en nuestra región [de Irlanda] así que no es difícil comprar atún fresca.

Para información: El nombre inusual es de "Marmite" [de francés], que es una tipa de cacerola metálica con una tapa. "Marmitako" es lo que se llama en el país vasco. Además, en el oeste de Cantabria este plato se llama "Sorropotún," y en el este y en el centro de la costa, "Marmita." Todo el mundo debería probarlo. Saludos. John

"We were the ones who knocked on the door." Is that not a completed action rather than a repeated action? I don't understand why "éramos" is used.

When to use articles with direct objects?

I noticed a pattern in the examples. Articles are always used with the subject of a sentence, but articles are only used some of the time with direct objects.

ARTICLES NOT USED WITH DIRECT OBJECTS

hoy no hay clase de español, tienes peces de colores, he comprado vasos de plástico, no tengo disfraz de Halloween

ARTICLES USED WITH DIRECT OBJECTS

ver la ropa de niño, voy a contarte un cuento de hadas, tengo que guardar mi ropa de verano, prefiero el vestido de flores, quieres un helado de fresa

QUESTION: Is there a rule for when to use articles with the direct object?

Cheers,

Marcos

Conjugate ver in El Pretérito Perfecto (present perfect)

En la lección de la nivel a2, "Conjugate ver in El Pretérito Perfecto (present perfect)", todos los ejemplos y se traducen los casos de El pretérito perfecto como el pretérito indefinido. ¿Por qué?
