Spanish language Q&A Forum

I use the app SpanishDict to help me check myself on certain concepts, especially on conjugations. For this concept, the gerund, the app uses past and present participles. Frankly, I did not receive a whole hell of a lot of instruction when it came to the difference between a participle and a gerund when I was younger but hey, I turned out ok! I have gotten the gist but the two things don't do the same thing  in Spanish as they do in English. I asked a Spanish professor friend of mine about this and he said one of them  (I can't remember which) was the gerund and the other is the participle. Is he correct? I got a questions wrong because I typed one form but it was actually the other. Also, is SpanishDict throwing me off?  

Hola,

I have a particular interest in art, so I enjoyed doing this exercise. Yet, I have to agree with David that this lesson was possibly more challenging than the AI level. 

I needed to listen to the measurements several times because I was unfamiliar with the use of "veinte coma dos" for example. (Although, I should have guessed, since this is similar to the French use of a comma instead of a decimal point.) After the first measurement, I was able to understand the second one. A good learning experience for me. I am coming back to Spanish, and have a lot to review and much more to learn for the first time.

May I suggest that there is a link to a lesson about numbers with decimals? 

Gracias y Saludos

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

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

Gracias

Can you add Chao or Ciao for Good bye?

we will offer you the most romantic experience ever = os ofreceremos la experiencia romántica jamás vista

In the lesson the structure always includes más or mejor.

Should it be   os ofreceremos la experiencia más romántica jamás vista?

Gracias

Is volverse used to mean radical or permanent changes as well?

Can you explain why the cake is called 'tarta' in the second and third sentences, but 'pastel' in the fourth?

Hi and thanks for all your work. This is a good breakdown however I still remain confused when two nouns  don't require - de- between them

For example in a book I'm reading " el êpico fracas de Arturo Zamora" Theres a part that that says

Consejo ciudadano. ( citizen council)

This isn't the first time two nouns are next to each other without a " De" inbetween  but I don't see the difference between this and something like

La sopa de Pollo

"a pesar de que" is not wrong. I think your system should be fixed.
