A found question #1, but can’t find question #2. Same thing happened to me yesterday—my first day on your app.

This sentence was marked as incorrect:

Cuando ella abra sus regalos en navidad a menudo tiene perfume.

The english translation was that often when she opens presents she gets perfume. Doesn't that denote possibility in the future and so it should be subjunctive?

thank you for this article. I learned many new things.

 To me it seemed that the the word "da" didn't quite come through even when I replayed it.

I understand why:

"¡Ya estás pidiendo disculpas a tu hermano!"

is correct, but I don't understand why:

"Pidas disculpas a tu hermano is wrong."

thanks,

R

I wrote "Que si hermosos palacios, que si parques espectaculares.." but I was corrected to "que si hermosa°s palacios que si parques espectaculares...".  I thought I heard hermosOs not hermosAs, and shouldn't the O be correct anyway? 

I have a screenshot of this if it is helpful.

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?

When would I use “en”?
