¿En esta frase "Yo trato de ser" o mitad de una frase, por qué no decir que "yo trato a ser" en lugar de que "de ser"?

Según yo:
Trato de ser = I am trying to accomplish something, excel etc
Trato a ser = I am trying to mock, be someone else, feign

I'm glad you answered as you did. I definitely want to say de ser in this case. - Heimstein, Aug 16, 2015

Tratar de ..... To try to do something
Tratar a ..... To have someting to do with someone. IE: a very common usage: Quiero tratar a ella (I want to have a relationship with her / to date her). The "a" is a "personal a".
