    Do not separate 'de' and 'el' – they must contract to 'del'.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking households, bathroom accessories are often bought in sets, and it's common to discuss them during home‑improvement projects. Using 'revisar' suggests a practical, task‑oriented approach, while 'inspeccionar' sounds more formal, as if you were checking for defects or compliance with building codes.
