Do we also use a zero article when talking about other fundamental aspects of who we are? I am thinking of things like gender (I'm a woman; I'm a man) or familial identity (I'm a mom; I'm an uncle).
I learned that when referring to parts of the body, not to use the pronoun mi because it is understood that it is my body. Also does the verb estar refer to something temporary. If so, why does a sentence say va a ser una experiencia relajante?

I can't speak for Europe or Australia but I can tell you that in the U.S. no one is ever going to say, "We've seen the singer sign autographs to the fans."

What is the exact wording of the audio for the following sentences? I can´t work out what is being said at the end of each of the sentences.

Hi, I was trying to make sure I translated something correctly and put the phrase “after school I go home” into a translator and it translated to “despues de la escuela me voy a casa” but the yo didn’t change to me when going other places. What caused the change?
Isn´t this a perífrasis? If so, it would be nice to label it with Perífrasis verbal in the title like the other ones for consistency and for searching for perífrasis to study.
Hello,
I have these sentences from the exercise:
1. In addition, they improve colds. Además, mejoran los resfriados
2. They have vitamins and minerals. y tienen vitaminas y minerales
In sentence 1, though the English is 'colds' (without the article), the Spanish sentence has los resfriados
In sentence 2, both the English and Spanish do NOT have the articles.
Is there a rule for when to use the articles? Can you point me to some info?
Thank you
Amrutha
