Can someone check number 1 and 2 I know they are wrong am I missing something?

Answer 1

If 1 and 2 are wrong, and the rest are correct, look at what you did different in those two. You used progressive tenses in those two and simple present indicative in the other four. Also in number 2 you forgot the pronoun.

So to be consistent with the other 4 examples you would put:

1. Ana y Sole se dicen secretos.
2. Mi primo y yo nos escribimos correos electrónicos.

I think the sentences you did are valid sentences, but are just not what the exercise is looking for.

For instance your number 2 means: My cousin and I are writing e-mails.

And mine: My cousin and I write each other e-mails.

I am a beginner, so I would defer to more experienced responders if my answer is not felt to be correct.

Just in case you are just following a paradigm, the lesson is about the pronominal form used to state reciprocal actions. - 0074b507, Apr 1, 2011

so you would always have a reflexive pronoun and optionally could use "uno a otro, etc". - 0074b507, Apr 1, 2011
