Shouldn´t it be A veces cojo el autobús a la una?

When, if ever, should todo (a,os,as) be followed by the preposition "de"?

Would she be “la juez”?  Thanks.

The English asked for "any animals" on that last sentence. So would the better translation be ¿ tienes algunos animales en casa?

los humanos PARA sobrevivir en el planeta rojo. why use para here ? what is its significance? 

In both cases, I was hesitant about whether to include the definite articles and I erred on the side of including them - which was wrong. 

#1 - I put "vamos a intercambiar las ideas" instead of just "ideas". I've found that in English we use the definite articles much less than in Spanish, so I think I need a refresher of when to use them and when to leave them out! Can you point me in the right direction?

#2  - And with "voy a salir de casa temprano" , I actually had put this correct answer first but then doubted myself and put "voy a salir temprano de la casa". Can you explain why this is wrong? Thanks!

Why can't we use acontecimientos for private events in place of eventos? I think they're synonyms. 

All of them seem having same function.

The fill in the blank read "Mi prima __________ Miss Universe."  The interpretation read " My cousin was Miss Universe"  I don't see why era should be considered incorrect. She was (past tense) implies that she no longer is, hence she used to be. I have seen many sentences like "Cuando era niña..." translated as when I WAS girl. As the sentence stands, either fue or era should be accepted. To be honest, I think era is a more accurate description.

why does uno change "a la una", but ocho does not "a las ocho en punto"? Thank you!
