Is including personal pronoun wrong?

Hi,

I have just completed an A1 test where the missing word(s) were required in this sentence:

Siempre ________ confundo haciendo este ejercicio.

The hint was that the reflexive verb 'confundirse' was used.

My answer was 'Siempre yo me confundo ...' and was marked wrong. The correct answer dropped the 'yo'. Is that correct? Surely, both answers are correct, although mine may not be commonly spoken.

Best regards,

Colin

Use of "su"

Hi!

RE: her stamina and her joy.

Kwizbot su vigor y su alegría.
You su vigor y alegría

Would it be correct to not have the “su” repeated as I wrote? What lesson would that be?

Thank you. Nicole

El condicional perfectoHola Silvia, tengo una pregunta

1.vosotros habríais vivido en California antes de mudaros a irlanda(conditional perfect)

2.vosotros habréis vivido en California antes de mudaros a irlanda(future perfect)

Are these two sentences correct and can the conditional perfect and future perfect be used interchangeably.

Aburrirse - CansarseHola Inma, Two questions: 1. I used "mientras estamos ocupados" for "while we are busy," and was marked incorrect. I may have misread it but the relevant lesson says that "mientras" is used with the present indicative to express "while," and that "mientras que (and mientras)," mean "as long as" in which case both would be followed by the subjunctive. In the Tip on the page it says that while is translated as mientras + El Presente. Is the english translation of 'while we are busy' incorrect in this exercise or is this an error - or is there some distinction I have missed? 2. Would cansarse be an acceptable alternative to aburrirse to describe "get bored." Saludos John

Plural adjective

Quiz question: "Cuanto más ricos, más desgraciados.

The richer [you are], the more miserable [you'll be]."

Why are these adjectives plural? (They are adjectives, right?)

Negative truth?

In the test, the sentence 'No es verdad que ________ siempre los papeles al suelo.' gave the answer as 'tiremos', and marked 'tiramos' as incorrect. So does this mean that if you present something as true, you use the indicative, but if you say something is not true, or that the truth is a negative, you use the subjunctive? I thought, in saying it is not true, the sentence was presenting something as a fact, and therefore the indicative would apply.

IDEA! be able to add Q&A answers to notebooks

I'm sure we all value the great work Inma, Silvia and the rest of the team do in answering all the questions we put to them on the Q&A Forum. I do. For me, this adds a lot to what makes Kwiziq such a valuable learning resource.

So, I think it would be a great idea to be able to add these replies to a seperate notebook. This would not only allow for revision, but also give me some reference to go every time I think, "Hmmm, I'm sure someone gave me a really useful answer on this already!"
