Me duelen los músculos por toser tanto. What you wrote is understandable, but native speakrs may feel that you're being very insistant about whose muscles; using both the possessive adjective and the indirect object pronoun to identify the same person is perceived as emphatic. For the second one, Se debe a cuidar a 4 niños. Using "se debe" this way is more common than using "deber" in the passive voice. Last edited by wrholt; February 06, 2014 at 02:04 PM.
