Creo que pueden ser sinónimos fácilmente en cualquier contexto. Si nos ponemos técnicos podríamos decirle al estudiante que una ciudad siempre se va a considerar así cuando tiene alrededor unos 50,000 habitantes o más.

Hola Sarrah, como estas? La diferencia que hay es la cantidad de habitantes. Un pueblo tiene entre 2000 y 5000 habitantes, una ciudad es considerada como tal a partir de los 50.000 habitantes. Bendiciones
el numero de habitantes..

Ciudad means city Pueblo means town
Hello Sarrah. The differences between the word "ciudad" and "pueblo" go way beyond the simple translation "city" and "village" we may find in tools such as Google Translator. The word "pueblo" has a strong emphasis on the people that inhabit a territory rather than the territory itself. For instance, the classical expression "We the people" found in the American constitution would be translated as "Nosotros el pueblo" in Spanish. Moreover, there is a common Hispanic phrase that says "El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido" which means "The people united will never be defeated". To conclude, pueblo is a deep word to express the genuine origin and identity of a group of people. It has to do with their values, history, and struggles. I hope my answer helped you. Have a wonderful day.
Una ciudad es un “city”, un Pueblo, es un “town”. Normalmente un Pueblo es mas pequeño, como un barrio por ejemplo
Ciudad means "City" in English and "Pueblo" can be translated as "Town". A City is a large urban extension where people live, as for a "Pueblo" it can be considered a small urban or rural area. :)
Hello, "Ciudad" is a large extension where a considerable quantity of people lives instead " pueblo" is more related like a small village. Hope now be a little bit more clear the difference. Regards
Hello! "Ciudad" refers to "city" and "Pueblo" can be defined as "town"

La ciudad es mas grande y son mas pobladas , por otro lado los pueblos son mas pequeños y por ende menos personas.
