Please add examples that demonstrate the use of articles before times and months

None of the examples uses articles before times or months (or, indeed, anything).  This leads the poor naive student (me) to believe that articles are not used in these situations.  And then I get a bad result on the first quiz I take because, yes, apparently one may use articles.  Sure, it's a valid way to learn, but it's unnecessary.

Hola Robert R.

Thanks for your feedback.

The lesson already includes some examples with time expressions and months, such as de 2 a 4 de la tarde, de junio a agosto and de las diez hasta las doce.

The main focus of this lesson is the use of desde/de/hasta/a to express ranges of time and distance, rather than the use of articles with dates and times. That said, we appreciate your suggestion and will keep it in mind when reviewing the lesson content.

Saludos

Silvia
