Generalization vs Specific
Hello. I have a Spanish final tomorrow, and I had one question on my mind. If I want to describe something specific out of a larger group (for example, apples), would I say:
Las Manzanas son ricas. If I were to be talking about all apples, would I say: Manzanas son ricas.

The general statement must include the article.
To specify a subset, use 'estas', 'esas', etc. Las manzanas son ricas. = Apples are delicious. Estas manzanas son ricas. = These apples are delicious.
