Error in Rosetta Stone?
This is what makes learning tough at times....one lession had a boy fall from a rock climbing wall and it was "ÿl se ha caído de la pared". The next lesson had a boy fall from a swingset and it was "El niño ha caído". Shouldn't this one be "El niño se ha caído"? (missed the "se").
gracias~

Rosseta Stone is quite expensive, I like learning on here! 
Ok, thanks! I have found that there are a few instances of this in Rosetta Stone (not using "se" when they should have)! I also found an earlier post from a Bombera (on this site) about the "se" - you and Eddie replied which was helpful.
I think it was only "the boy fell" because it was within the context of the picture of him on the ground and had fallen from a swingset - this would still require the "se"? Gracias lazarus.
If it was an accident, it sounds VERY strange without "se". I can't imagine any native saying that, no matter how correct the grammar is.
Mabey you could contact Rosseta Stone, and see if you can find out what the problem is....
The omission is not necessarily a mistake, although it makes the sentence sound more like "The boy fell (sick/dead)". This verb without "se" is rarely used to mean suddenly go down onto the ground, although you will find some examples in literary Spanish. My advice: do not omit that "se"; to most people it will sound weird otherwise.
