Use of Tratar, Tratar de and Tratarse de

Hola Inma,

Just to say that this is a great lesson, and goes a long way to making clear something that I have found very difficult.

Thanks a million. John

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

Pronunciation of cansadas sounds wrong in the example.La clase de zumba nos ha dejado un poco cansadas.The zumba class left us a little tired.It might be my hearing, but Cansadas sounds to me as though it is pronounced cansado.in this example from the lesson.

Meaning: preferir ... que.... & preferir ... en vez de...

Preferir... que... just means: prefer... than... .Doesn't it?

Preferir... en vez de... means: prefer... rather than.... Why? I don't understand.

Thank you so much

Nombre del tiempo: el pretérito perfecto

¿Porque se dice ambos, el presente perfecto (en otros textos) y el pretérito perfecto? Esto me confunde mucho... ¡Muchas gracias!

Gerardo no se fía ni siquiera de sí mismo.

Maybe this is covered in a lesson I haven't gotten to yet, but can you explain how "ni siquiera" is functioning in this sentence?

Thanks!
