Aburrirse - CansarseHola Inma, Two questions: 1. I used "mientras estamos ocupados" for "while we are busy," and was marked incorrect. I may have misread it but the relevant lesson says that "mientras" is used with the present indicative to express "while," and that "mientras que (and mientras)," mean "as long as" in which case both would be followed by the subjunctive. In the Tip on the page it says that while is translated as mientras + El Presente. Is the english translation of 'while we are busy' incorrect in this exercise or is this an error - or is there some distinction I have missed? 2. Would cansarse be an acceptable alternative to aburrirse to describe "get bored." Saludos John

This structure with a direct object pronoun

I am curious how this structure would work if the direct object is a pronoun, something like the following.

I had a beautiful beer mug. I accidentally dropped it.

Use of referente

I understand the line ' .. para realizar el sueno de crear una marca de aceite oliva referente en calidad y sabor' to mean ' in order to realize the dream of making a brand of olive oil that is a benchmark in quality and flavour.

Why is there no other connection words between oliva and referente?

Thanks!

Llevan viniendo vs han estado viniendo

Hola,

Would 'han estado viniendo' be an acceptable answer here?

Thanks,
