Use of definite article
Here are two phrases from the text, both giving advice.
1 Seguramente sabrás que en primavera deberías consumir espárragos trigueros, guisantes y habas. NO ARTICLE
2 Si fuera tú, pondría ingredientes como la lechuga, las endibias, las espinacas, etc. ARTICLES.
In answering a previous question about articles, Sylvia wrote:
In summary, the choice of using or not using the definite article
depends on the linguistic function of the phrase within the sentence,
whether it denotes a specific entity (requiring the article) or
describes a general quality or manner (where the article may be
omitted).
Am I correct that the use of 'como' in phrase 2 triggers a specific entity and thus the article?
Gracias
There Will be and There is going to be are identical in meaning. Is that the same for habrá and va a haber. Google translate doesn’t seem to make a distinction.

I'm a bit confused by this example. Why is it "al que"? Could it be "al cual"? Thanks for your help!
MOTHER: Of course, the guy who you met at the Spanish course at University,
MADRE: Claro, el chico al quien conociste en el curso de español de la universidad,MADRE: Claro, el chico al que conociste en el curso de español de la universidad,My earlier question (earlier in this thread) was answered for the most part, thank you, but not all of it was answered, it was a long question!
So here is what I still would like to know:
2-1) for example I don't understand why I am not logged in anymore when I click on my name in the
Q&A section in Lawless to get a list of my questions and I'm suddenly in Kwiziq.
3) How do I find this article below, that is at https://www.lawlessspanish.com/grammar/prepositions/personal-a/
A new question:
Are all the exercices/lessons the same on these sites: Lawless/ Progress with Lawless/Kwizik? and if I do an exercise or quiz in one of the above, will it count on my Dashboard and the Leaderboard here?
Thank you for your attention.

When you say that we use "por culpa de" for something with a negative result and use the example as given above " por culpa de mi novio soy la mujer más feliz del mundo........" Why do you say that this sentence has a negative result?
- Ella cree que habrá consecuencias.
- Creía que era una bicicleta por participante.
Because the subject in the two examples above believed/thought that …(creer que) …, I would have used the subjunctive in the second clauses. I equated this to querer que and esperar que both being followed by the subjunctive. What am I missing?
What's the difference between:
Hace ocho semanas que estudié.
y
Hace ocho semanas estudié.
I understand the first sentence from this lesson, but is the second one just incorrect or does it mean something else?
This is one of the sentences for this lesson:
Yo no como nunca pescado, ¿y tú? (I never eat fish, and you?)
This sounds awkward to me. Shouldn't it be
Yo nunca como pescado. ? (Without 'no' and putting nunca before the verb)
