I'll email her your question, but there are no guarantees.
to perform = ejecutar
but in a theatre = representar
for a machine = funcionar
Here's my "lesson" on how to use a dictionary.
1. take en English word (perform), look it up in a good bilingual dictionary and 2. WRITE DOWN every Spanish word there.
3. NOW, look up EACH Spanish word for the primary English word.
4. Select the BEST word, depending upon CONTEXT or exactly how the word is used.
Example:
1. to perform
2. ejecutar, representar, funcionar
3. a) to execute; to perform
b) to represent; show, express; state, declare; act, perform, play
c) to function
