holding down the letter doesn't give me an accent

Hola

1.Mi madre prepara el almuerzo a la una y media.My mum prepares lunch at half past one.
Do you have to say "el almuerzo" instead of just "almuerzo"?
2.Salgo de casa a las ocho en punto.I leave the house at eight o'clock precisely.
why is it "casa" instead of "la casa"?
Gracias,Fred

In another unrelated lesson, a quiz sentence states, 'No me queda mucho dinero pero tengo para dos cervezas más.'  Where does this sentence fit in the various meanings of quedar, as explained in this lesson?

Am I correct in understanding that the use of Unos/as is for countable nouns (pears, sunglasses, cellphones... etc)? For non countable nouns such as money, salt, or sugar, you would use a different word to say some?

Hi,

I thought I had answered this correctly by choosing the subjunctive of terminar: termine. But it was marked wrong with what I think is just another variation on subjunctive for terminar: terminase. (See below.)

Am I wrong? What am I missing here?

Thanks!
