Leaving out the article makes the phrase sound incomplete; Spanish normally requires the definite article before a specific noun.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries patients are encouraged to be proactive and ask questions. Using the verb 'anotar' sounds slightly more formal than 'escribir' and is common in medical notes or worksheets. Remember to keep a respectful tone; pairing the command with a polite preface like 'por favor' can soften it: 'Por favor, anota preguntas sobre el tratamiento.'
