Spanish language Q&A Forum

This is the first one I have failed over and over, and over again.  There is just not enough direction here to understand the differences.  Is there a source you would recommend that discusses this in more detail?

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?

Thanks.

Hola Inma,

I don't understand the use of subjunctive here:  "Nunca hubiera pensado". Why not había pensado ?

¡Hola! Am new here .I have a problem with the placement of 'usted'.For example ¿Usted tiene nietos?and ¿Tiene Usted nietos? Are both of the sentences correct? When or in what context do you use Usted before the verb or after.

could you, please, explain why " mi corazón me iba a explotar/estalar" is not valid? I' ve always had a problem with this kind of expression. 

Saludos

I had the correct answer to the question below........until I read the hint which totalaly confused me as "Retrasar" was present in gerundial form in one of the possible choices.

Is there a rule that explains why the definite articles aren’t needed here even though mujeres and hombres are the subjects of the sentence?
