Childhood, in words
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| la infancia | childhood |
| el colegio | school |
| los juguetes | toys |

Games and sports both take jugar a + the article — and a + el merges into al: jugar al escondite, jugar al fútbol, jugar a las cartas (to play cards).
Hacerse de noche is reflexive and has no subject — no it: Se hacía de noche. — It was getting dark.
