In my Spanish book, it says homework is la tarea.

Again: "los deberes" is the homework... in Spain. In most parts of Latin America it is called "la tarea", and both will be understood if a context is provided, but in any case, the article cannot be omitted, or "tarea" and "deberes" become proper names.

Answer 3

La tarea es importante. In South America the word "homework" is translated as "tarea" but you need to use a determinant article before "La tarea" for this expression (La tarea es importante). If you have only the word "Homework" you must to say only "Tarea".

Answer 4

In my Spanish book, it says homework is la tarea.

Answer 5

Spanish generic subjects, unlike in English, must have an article:

Los deberes son importantes (this is the version in Spain for "homework")

"Tarea" is importante would be understood as "Ms. Tarea is important" (she matters to us).
