1.Trunk -- el baúl

Ok, people, let me please tell you to stop it with the article the = el las los las
I know we use it, but you need to be able to differentiate when to use.
Margherite was the last to post apparently, so I'll use her example.
Tuxedo = Esmoquin (borrowed from English smoking)
Penguins appear to wear tuxedos.
**Los **pingüinos aparecen llevar esmoquines.
Why didn't she write "...aparecen llevar los esmoquines" when she explicitly, as every other example in this thread, states that "#8 el esmoquin = tuxedo?
hmmm? hmmm?
So, I urge all of the contributors to this post, including the original poster, to examine this and start mending the entries so that it configures to what I have explained more or less graphically and not grammatically.
I would suggest that you leave the errors in place and edit your own post some lines below, indicating that way you are understanding what the problem is. If you introduce a new error, you will be sent to an unknown planet for a number of years. OK?
