Zero article in other instances

Do we also use a zero article when talking about other fundamental aspects of who we are? I am thinking of things like gender (I'm a woman; I'm a man) or familial identity (I'm a mom; I'm an uncle).

Sentir or sentirse question

Why is “I feel like an idiot dressed up like a clown” reflexive? Idiot is a noun. I had this question on a quiz.

The poem or the Collection

Was the Collection of verses published when the poet was 19 or just that one poem? Slightly ambiguous English phrasing . . .

Another person confused by this lesson

I'm also very confused by this lesson...

The tip in the text of this lesson states "You will never find es followed by bien/mal. However, está can be followed by bueno/malo, but the meaning will be different" (it doesn't really explain what that difference is though).

In the test I checked "Está malo que comas 6 veces al día." (It's bad to eat 6 times a day) as valid and it was marked as wrong. "Está buen que ayudes a tu hermana con los deberes" (It's good that you help your sister with her homework.) was also marked as wrong and it's not easy for me to see why.

It's early in the morning, so perhaps I'm missing something obvious?

Gracias

Geoff

Table for crear in the present indicative and creer in the present subjunctive

I believe that according to RAE, the vosotros form of both verbs should have a tilde – creáis.

This problem is in addition to the yo form problem others have mentioned.

Definite article or not?

"Esta debe ser roja para tener amor, blanca para llamar a LA paz, azul para buena salud y negra para atraer EL lujo". I consistently get this wrong. I either add a definite article or miss it out. Are there any rules for this?

Passive structure with verb ingresar

Tomorrow by this time I will have been admitted to hospital is translated as Mañana a estas horas habré ingresado en el hospital

I've also seen "ayer fue ingresado en el hospital" and "el médico lo ingresó en el hospital" so it seems to behave like a transitive verb.

Why then isn't it " habré sido ingresado" ?

Gracias
