"Este niño nunca responde."

Translation: This boy never answers.

It seems that "respond" is an accepted translation for responder in some sentences but not in others. I understand that there may be some subtle differences in the way they are used, but consistency is good for learning.

Well. In this sentence they seem interchangable. So I reported this for not accepting:
"This boy never responds"

[tessbee]

"Responds" is now accepted. Thanks to those who reported.

Hi tjatwood. Responder y contestar son sinónimos en español. In Spanish "responder and contestar" are synonyms. Saludos

Wouldn't "Este nino nunca respondo" (one of the options) mean "this boy never answered" ?

[grace290138]

Hi Jeff. "Este niño nunca responde" is present. "This boy never answered" = "Este niño nunca respondió ", it is past. Saludos

Thanks , I was stumped here too

I know the answer is responde but it sounds to me she is saying respondi, don't know how to type an accent.

Why is child not correct ?

[RyagonIV]

Iris, using "child" here is correct.

[IrisElise5]

Thank you!

[ktrez]

[RyagonIV]

Ktrez, yes, sure, that should work.
