forum rules? - comunacho, Nov 1, 2012

“…doing your homework”- es el único error de verdad. Creo que “mistakes” puede ser más natural que “mistake”. Tanto “forum rules” como “forum’s rules” suenan bien para mí. - bosquederoble, Nov 1, 2012

Answer 2

Just in case you're finding it hard to get started, just take it bit by bit ...

Nosotros _________ muy ocupados

We __________ very busy.

So you have to decide two things:

1) do you use ser or estar to expressing 'being tired'?

2) once you decide which verb you're going with you just have to decide how it needs to be conjugated.

Eg - for the example above you would need to conjugate the verb estar to match nosotros because being busy is a state that you can be in, it's not a characteristic of a person.
