¿Me das tu muñeca si te cansas de ella?

The use of “te cansas” looks like reflexive use to me. However, when I consult the dictionary the use is described as pronominal use. Please help me with the difference between pronominal and reflexive use.

Hola,

We have porque, que and como in this construction - and we know that por can mean 'because of' - can it also be used as a causal conjunction in this sense?

Trabajas - En que or A que?

Hi! I had a similar issue to Nicole taking a test today.

The question was:

¿A qué ________?What do you do?
I answered te dedicas and se dedica. It marked me incorrect for not choosing trabajas as well. But I thought it was "en que trabajas", not "a que". Is this an error w/ the quiz or am I not understanding something?
Thank you!

Some verbs in the preterite indefinido have tildes and some don't. Is there a rule for when they are used or not used, as i'm finding it difficult to remember when to use them?

El Pretérito Imperfecto vs PreteritoYo ________ por la ciudad cuando lo ví.I was walking around in the city when I saw him.(HINT: Conjugate "caminar" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)
I don't understand why this is El Pretérito Imperfecto rather than only past tense.
