Hello!
I would like to ask you a question about the meanings of the vebs ""slap" and "spank" in relation to the following text:
"Cesira was outraged and upset. She slapped and spanked Roseta for her behaviour."
What is the difference between "slap" and "spank"? As far as I understand them, both mean "to hit someone with the palm of the hand". I am not a native English speaker and I do not understand the meaning of the text very well. For me it sounds something like "She hit Roseta with the palm of her hand and then she hit her with palm of her hand", the same action expressed through different verbs.
What would a native English speaker assume if he/she heard the sentence "She slapped and spanked Roseta for her behaviour."?
Thank you.
