It seems to me that it is a similar couple like recordar algo/acordarse de algo but with the opposite meaning.

¿Terminan el trabajo hoy? - Sí, lo terminan hoy. Are they finishing the job today? - Yes, they are finishing it today.

Why is lo the answer if its referring to them? Is el trabajo what lo is referring to?

Simple past pedir and competir/servir

Hi,

I'm just wondering why didn't you group pedir with competiir/servir into one lesson. Their semi regular pattern with changes in the 3rd person only appear to be identical, and it would streamline the process.

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
