When would I use the gerund over the Al + infinitive construction?

Is this construction interchangeable with Al+infinitive or is there a nuance where I would choose one over the other?

technical issues (again); can't retake quiz

Darn! once again is am trying to re-take a quiz I (really) need to work on. Message displayed after taking first quiz: "This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like." Yesterday I reported this and shortly later I was able to retake the quiz (and still struggle). So, I studied and read ALOT today and want to take the quiz again. Is there a timer I need to know about (i.e. you must wait 12/24 hours before retaking a quiz? Sure would like to get a better understanding on this lesson and quiz's do show if I am "getting it" or not.  As always you help is VERY much appreciated.  :)

La culinaria vs la cocina

¿La culinaria es sinónimo de la cocina? Entonces, ¿es correcto escribir “ les encantará la culinaria colombiana?”

Translation here of "realistas"?

The "chilenos realistas" - is it really correct to call them "royalists"?

Repecto a la preposició "a"

¿Por qué tenemos que decir "Me recuerdan a aquellas botas" si la preposición "a" es personal y botas no son personas?

Regular or semi-regular 'er' 'o' verbs

I thought on reading this lesson that all 'er' verbs with 'o' in would follow this rule to become 'ue' but then got a test on 'toser' and got that wrong (tried to put tueso, not toso).  Plus comer stays as 'o'.

How do we know when to apply this rule, is it a case of just learning the verbs which are semi-regular? Are there a lot or is this pretty doable?
