Why there is? Comes una naranja. And then. Come pizza or comen sandía. Why those two are without article? I have gone through posted QA´s but didnt find an answer.

You eat are eating an orange.(A fact describing what you are doing.)

She eats pizza could mean generally, when she has the chance. if she were eating pizza at the momemnt the article would be appropriate. The same with they eat watermelon. (as a rule, normally, when they have a chance, put in the article and you are describing the act of eating a specific watermelon at a specific time.

I hope this is first, clear, and second, correct. We do what we can!
