When to use articles

Question

Hi,In the translated text above, these terms all get the articles, however, in the test, they all don't.i.e.:la astronomía, y en las matemáticas. También, trabajaron en la agricultura y el comercio"in the test, it corrected me, so I'm a bit confused:Could you please let me know when you can/cannot use the article "le,la,las" etc in front of these: The test examples: Kwizbot	Los aztecas destacaron en astronomía,You	Los aztecas destacan en la astronomía,You could also say:	Los aztecas destacaron en la astronomía, Kwizbot	También, trabajaron en la agriculturaYou	También, trabajaron en agricultura[note: here I dropped the article and it didn't correct me]Well done!	and in mathematics.Your answer matched mine:	y en matemáticas.Thank you for your help and have a great day!Nicole

Four years later, and still no answer to this question. I had the same questions. It appears to me using various online resources, grammar correcting sites, and ChatGPT that the use of articles is optional in some of these situations. It is not clear at all when they HAVE to be used. But if in doubt, it will be the opposite of whatever I write or say!
