It might be helpful to point out how an infinitive is used to express what in English a gerund might be used for (Sorry, I know that's a horrible sentence.) To reference the quiz question, "conducir" is used for the concept "driving." As an English speaker, that is strange and it was not apparent right away what was going on.

Re les vs los below.. les is incorrect because ver is a transitive verb, correct? 

I don't understand why Indefinido is used in the example; "Nos gustamos desde el primer momento." It has a definite starting point, but the sentence implies a continuing action. In this case could Imperfecto also be used correctly?

The lesson specifically states that we don’t use the gerund as we might in English.  Then the gerund is used: He dejado de fumar. Am I missing something? Nowhere in the lesson does it say in certain instances we would use the gerund. Please explain.

Hi, sorry i missed the g in “missing”. Shirley. 

Why do some of the verbs get tildas?

se lo quiero comprar becomes comprárselo

and 

se lo estamos decorando becomes estamos decorándoselo
