Cool, thanks fredbong

Answer 2

A book I'm reading right now says that the definite article can be omitted in the following situations:

1. With fields of knowledge, in general, one needs an article unless one...
   A. Gives a definition. ¿Qué es astronomía?
   B. Uses estudiar or examinar. Estudiamos química.

2. with the expressions de...a
   En casa comemos de seis a ocho.
   At home we eat from 6:00 to 8:00.

3. With expressions like:
   por primera vez. for the first time
   por segunda vez. for the second time
   en primer lugar. in the first place

4. With con and sin before an unmodified abstract noun.
   No puedo vivir sin libertad.

Con amor la vida tiene sentido.
With love life has meaning.

1. With a numeral that denotes the order of a monarch.
   Carlos Quinto. Charles the Fifth.

Answer 3

Wow, I never knew you could omit the "the" like you do in english (at least in this context, I'm not trying to overgeneralize things)

Right. The definite article ("the") is used in many places in Spanish where it is not in English.

Answer 5

The preposition "de" just happens to be there. It is all about the function of the article, which is actually pretty close to the English counterpart "the" most of the time (except in generic subjects). Which one would you say in English?

... there is an overwhelming amount of the evidence against him.
... there is an overwhelming amount of evidence against him.

With, or without "the"'

Answer 6

Is there a rule about not using la/las after de

Answer 7

Continúa negando que estuve implicado en la pelea, pese a que hay una cantidad abrumadora de [del]las[/del] pruebas contra él.

"Continuar + present participle" and "seguir + present participle" are periphrasis (fixed phrase structures); you need to memorize this, there is no explanation for it.

Otherwise, it is pretty good. "Pese a que" can easily introduce declarations, which is why indicative is perfect here, but there are cases where subjunctive could be used to avoid them.
