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

Formal "where are you from"

In every example the questions are:

De donde eres

and

De donde es usted

The pronoun is included in every formal example. Is it required in the formal?

It appears to me that the better answer for "we have been" would be "hemos estado" rather than "hemos ido," which seems to me to say "we have gone." In English, there is a difference between "been" and "gone." Could you please advise. Thank you.

Antonio lo ha hecho por mí.

Hola,

Antonio lo ha hecho por mí. --> when we say this, shouldn't we use para to imply someone or something receives benefits from an action?

Gracias a todos.

Serio becomes seriecillo?

Hi,

Which sentence softens the meaning of the word "serious"?

HINT: serio = serious

Why does serio become seriecillo when it doesn't end with an e or a constant?

Is it common in Spanish to have two words seriecilla / seriecillo that are almost similar yet so different in meaning?

Thank you!
