Professional TeacherTo demonstrate astound about someone or something.
Hi
I would like to say in English "To demonstrate astound about someone or something. " But in Spanish is "Para demostrar asombro por algo o alguien". I mean astound about some skills that someone could have. So I just want to know if thsi sentence is correct "To demonstrate astound about someone or something. " Thank you

You can't quite say it like that. The word "astound" is a verb ("to astound"), so you can "astound someone" or you can "be astounded (by something)." It's not a noun, so you can't "demonstrate" it.
For your sentence, if you want to use a form of the word "astound," you'll need to use it as a verb. You could say "to be astounded by someone." If you want to use the word "demonstrate," you'll need to choose another word (like astonishment or surprise), because "astound" does not have a noun form.

You could use the word astound in these ways as well.
As an adjective:
The view of the Grand Canyon is astounding.
As a verb:
The view of the Grand Canyon will astound you.
He was astounded by the view of the Grand Canyon.
