Ellas suelen ir al cine los viernes

Usually we use Ellas van, how about this Ellas suelen ir? May I know what is this ir in this case. 

I have taken this test several times. Each time I check   Comprad tanto carne como pescado,  it marks me as choosing tanta.  

In question #1 where it says we are and the continuing form of the verb, I used estar + continuing form of verb and it was wrong.  But in question #6, it is the same questions and I used estar + continuing form of the verb and the answer was right.  What is the difference?

I noticed a pattern in the examples.  Articles are always used with the subject of a sentence, but articles are only used some of the time with direct objects.

ARTICLES NOT USED WITH DIRECT OBJECTS

hoy no hay clase de español, tienes peces de colores, he comprado vasos de plástico, no tengo disfraz de Halloween

ARTICLES USED WITH DIRECT OBJECTS

ver la ropa de niño, voy a contarte un cuento de hadas, tengo que guardar mi ropa de verano, prefiero el vestido de flores, quieres un helado de fresa

QUESTION:  Is there a rule for when to use articles with the direct object?

Cheers,

Let's see -at what moment in time?- you find a good job!

Let's see - at the time that- you find a good job!

As you can see both options work in this context, and I can use lots of examples like this but to understand the difference we need sentences which cannot work as both options

In the question:

"____  vamos envejeciendo, nos van importando menos las cosas banales."

I see that conforme works, but why not "Cuánto más"? Is it that the "menos" should be in front? As:

"Cuánto más vamos envejeciendo, menos nos van importando las cosas banales."

Thanks!

Ah, me encantaba jugar este juego cuando era una niña!

Gracias por este ejercicio excelente Shui. :)

In this item:  "Era recomendable que fuéramos juntos a la excursión" why is "fuéramos" and not "vayamos" used for the translation "It was recommended that we go together on the trip."?

Hola, 

I found this a lot to digest, so re-wrote the lesson to try to understand it better.

Would you be able to do me a big favour and check to see if I’ve understood it correctly?

Muchísimas gracias,
