"I ragazzi mangiano mele."

Translation: The boys eat apples.

[TimothyAhe2]

Why doesn't "mele" have an article in front of it?

[chacham2]

I left off "the" which works sometimes but not others. It failed here. "cats drink water" "horses drink milk" works, but "boys eat apples" does not. Is it a human vs animal thing?

What is the difference between I and Gli?

[f.formica]

"I" is the plural of "il", "gli" the plural of "lo" (among other things); if you know how to differentiate between "il" and "lo" the rest should come natural.

[Pietro990552]

this is not the only correct answer; "The children eat apples" must also be correct.

[ThomasHell2]

That's what I wrote and it was accepted.

Cannot "i ragazzo" be translated as "the kids"???

[UlyanaAtHome]

I meant "i ragazzi"
