Spanish Mistakes-6

It means “You are worried today.”
Maybe this is even my English issue….I have hard time distinguish “occupied” and “preoccupied”!

Spanish Mistakes-4
“We have been ‘tired’ for 4 years.”
Wanted to say “married”.
Very interestingly, “casado” (married) and “cansado” (tried) are almost identical words!
