Use of gran/de in the negative sense

Would it be fair to say that in a negative situation you would not use gran?

So, it would not be un gran atasco, but un atasco grande? (a big traffic jam)

Muchísimas gracias,

En la discoteca había muchos chicos guapos.

En la discoteca había muchos chicos guapos. Shouldn't this be habían as "muchos chicos guapos" is plural?

a as preposition and personal a

Maybe just worth pointing out that in the sentences with "a" the preposition is used in two different ways:

- as a "normal" preposition, for example, indicating motion: "El partido al que fui"

- as a "personal a", where there is a direct object (Los cantantes a los que los fans adulaban) but where "a" is needed because the object is personal.

I think that's so, isn't it?

Consultura ambiental or medioambiental

Hi, I’m an environmental consultant. Am I a consultura ambiental or a consultura medioambiental please?

Also, i know I should say soy consultura, so assume I should still say soy consultura ambiental not soy una consultura ambiental, as the ambiental part is still describing my professsion and not a quality adjective?

Thank you.
