Perfect tense querer?

Hola,

Would that work in this case (if we saw ourselves in the current timeframe), and if it did, would it be that you could choose to either follow it with the present or the imperfect subjunctive?

He querido que vinieras conmigo de compras.

He querido que vengas conmigo de compras.

I wanted you to come shopping with me.

Gracias,

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?

estado vs ido

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.
