How do you know when to use definite articles after the preposition "de"? For instance "la influencia de la globalización" or "la vida de las mujeres"? Why not just "la influencia de globalización" or "la vida de mujeres"? In this article on "de", Using the preposition "de" in Spanish with nouns for description , none of the examples have a definite article after de.
When would you use this vs. the regular imperative? Are they exchangeable or is one preferred over the other under certain circumstances?

I really enjoyed this passage, it even made me a little teary-eyed! The sentiment is lovely.
I just wanted to check...
Should the first sentence be using vosotros, i.e. Me recordáis a mi abuela, porque es que brilláis con luz propia como ella.
Maybe I'm missing something but isn't the rest of the passage referring to two people?
Gracias de antemano 😊
