Thanks Carlos. I'm not too clear on the parenthesis. Does it mean Nos...isn't used or is it optional? - Yeser007, ABR 2, 2010

Good effort... - Carlos-F, ABR 2, 2010

Thank for correcting my mistakes. but why tan is incorrect? isn't tan means so, muy means very? - Krama, ABR 2, 2010

When you say "...porque estoy muy cansado" you clearly are finishing the sentence. However when you say "porque estoy tan cansado", it seems that you are going to add an additional explanation, like "que dormiría hasta mañana", for example. - Carlos-F, ABR 3, 2010

It's just a problem of context. - Carlos-F, ABR 3, 2010
