How do i know when to use 'dell'' as opposed to 'di'?

[Knueller1]

Im confused also. For me "della" as well as "nella, alla,..." is only used, when it comes to special objecects. E.g "dalla casa mia" vs. "da casa".
Can anybody help? Grazie

[myselfandi]

I guess, dell' probably is "di lo" if you seperate it. So it is di but "anno" starts with a vowel, thus you need to use "lo" with results in dell'

Does that make sense or am I wrong?

[hilpertf]

i guess "di" is OF, whereas "del" is OF THE (di+il = del)

[coloraday]

Is il novembre... also acceptable, please?

Duolingo has become full of errors recently. Why? There is little point in complaining, because nothing is done to address complaints. Perhaps I should find an alternative app?

I have the correct answer, so why does it get bounced. Come on lads, sort this out for everyone.
