Summary/Abstract: This study deals with the structural and functional correspondence of the Spanish Gerund with the French representation, as grammatical mean to express the simultaneity and duration which similarities and differences between both languages cause confusions and learning difficulties to some francophone and students who learn Spanish as L2. To examine this problem, errors identified through some translation exercises and speech acts led by some Ivorian students are analyzed in order to provide practical solutions.
