Spanish language Q&A Forum

I never thought that I was misusing definite articles until this exercise.  Apparently, I either add a definitive article when it's not required or omit it when it is.  Is there a rule that I'm missing with this?

For example: For "Asimismo, gobiernos y organizaciones trabajan en políticas para una gestión sostenible del agua.", I wrote: "Asimismo, LOS gobiernos y organizaciones trabajan en LAS políticas para una gestión sostenible del agua".  Why shouldn't I use definite articles where I did?

There is no real way to know the punctuation via the audio, e.g. the semicolon. The UX piecemeal approach does not allow the context to even guess correctly in all cases. It's unclear why this is part of the test at the A1 level. The software UX needs to be improved if the pedagogy supports this. 

Super helpful! Thanks again Inma! Shirley. 

The structure seems clear: a las dos horas  de = within two hours of; a los tres años de = within three years of, etc.  The question was this, though:

 ________, tuve que llamar al médico.

I think the verb acabar can also be used to express finishing something. How does the use of acabar in Spanish differ when I want to say "I just..." vs. "I'm finishing..."

Muchas gracias por compartir esta leyenda.

Hello! I was wondering if there are any plans to include Latin American Spanish pronunciation for the example sentences in the near future? I would love to practice with a Latin American accent, as this would be incredibly helpful for my learning. Is this a feature that might be added?
