Why is this tense called indefinite. How do I know whether to use the indefinite rather than the perfect?

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. 

Hi, I had a question about the translation for "What should I do?". In this exercise, it said the correct translation was "¿Qué hago?", but wouldn't "¿Qué debo hacer?" also be correct?

For this question:

"El guiso solo necesita una pizca de sal. No pongas ____ "

I couldn't decide whether it should be "tantas" or "tanta" because it wasn't clear to me at all whether the pronoun is referring to "una pizca" or "sal". If I recall correctly I put "tantas", attempting to agree with "una pizca" but it was the wrong answer. Is it possible that both might be acceptable in real world speech because of that ambiguity, or am I missing some clear difference?

(e.g. in English "This stew only needs one pinch of salt. Don't put too many" would sound a bit wrong, but technically would be correct for the same reason, in my opinion. Of course you'd usually hear "This stew only needs *a* pinch of salt. Don't put too much.". While salt is an uncountable noun (in most contexts), "pinch" is, of course, not!)

Hi,

I completed a test today on the above topic.  The sentence included the word 'cuidálo' but I cannot find it in my dictionary or the online dictionary I use.

I assume it means to treat or take care of.

Gracias.

In the third sentence, all the words in the list of nouns have a definite article in front of them, except for "tiranía." Why is that? It seems inconsistent.

Hola! Would it be possible to have examples with each word? I find it difficult to contextualise without a sentence. Gracias!

Do you have se lessons for things like, se me hace, no se te quita, ya no se te nota mucho acento, ya no se les atiende, se percate.  I ask because none of these seem to find homes in the lessons, in order to practice and understand. I mean they are not accidental. Thanks

I´m wondering how do you know when to use "conocí" or "conocía"?

The answer given is ....a ella le terminará / acabará cansando

Would it be possible to say ..... a ella le terminará / acabará por cansar ?

Gracias
