When do you and when you don't use el/la/los/las?

I'm totally confused by this and always end up making the wrong choice. 

Is there a way to eliminate vosotros from lessons and quizzes? It's not something I've ever studied or used.

Trick questions like this one don't help and no one is going to put that adjective in front of axe in Spanish. Smh. I like this web site but the way you guys format questions is really annoying at times. The questions should reflect how a native is MOST LIKELY to say something, not "well let's mess with these people trying to learn a language and confuse them at the same time."

should be benéfico

also wrong in the list of vocabulary at the beginning

Yo te habría aceptado de nuevo en casa mientras me hubieras contado la verdad.
I would have accepted your return home provided you had told me the truth.

this sentence is talking about future events from the point of view of a past. it is not really talking about future event from current point of view. is that right?

i find this structure similar to si conditional statement of expressing what something could had happened in the past, if another past condition is satisfied. 

may I ask if they are the same?

Yo te habría aceptado de nuevo en casa si me hubieras contado la verdad.

Can you guys give us a full breakdown of what things (verbs) use the third person "they did this for me" but it's translated in English as "I had done." ?? It's very confusing and it seems kinda random what things you can use this with or not. The only reason I even knew that this structure existed is because I have some Mexican family members who use this structure but in English. For instance they might they "they're fixing the car right now." But they mean they're having the car fixed for them right now. 

In some lessons you guys mention personal care "being done for oneself" but it's still first person, like cutting hair, doing nails. I'm just confused as to when it's ok to use third person or not. 

Which one is correct:

Tres es más que dos.

Tres es más de dos.

Hi Inma,

If you can skip tan solo as in the last example, how do you know whether the meaning is "just before" or "within"? For example:

A 2 minutos de empezar la película me llamó mi madre para charlar.

Couldn't this mean either that my mother called me just before the film started or that she called me just after it started?

under this section, the quiz showed a question as below.

Estoy intentando que ellos nos ________ una oportunidad.

i am not sure why does intentar trigger subjunctive.

is this because it contains uncertainty? so if im using other similar verbs such as probar or whatever scenario of trying to do something, i will need to use subjunctive?

Please explain on what basis cuándo is correct here and not cuando. This looks to me like a perfectly straightforward statement of fact. No one is asking a question. In fact, this sentence is an answer to a question such as, "When will you see him again?"
