I need some help?

I'm doing this Spanish assignment right now and I tried to answer it to the best of my ability but somehow I still get it wrong I'm supposed to rewrite each sentence with the appropriate form of the verbs.

For example: A mi me gusta levantarme temprano por la mañana. (ustedes) Answer: A ustedes les gusta levantarse temprano por la mañana.

These are the questions I got wrong:

-1. A nosotros nos fascina acostarnos tarde por la noche. (yo) My answer: A mí me fascina acosté tarde por la noche.

-3. A mi me aburre afeitarme todos los días. (ellos) My answer: A ellos les aburre afeitaron todos los días.

-6. A ella le falta dinero para comprar el vestido. (tú) My answer: A ti te falta dinero para compras el vestido.

My native language is spanish smile This is the correct form : 1) a mi me fascina acostarme por la tarde. 2) a ellos les aburre afeitarse todos los dias. 3) a ti te falta dinero para comprar el vestido.

Why are you conjugating the verbs that are in the infinitive in the original sentence? That is not done in your example- the only thing changed is the second and third words of the sentence. And the pronouns attached to the infinitives when they are there.

For example:

A mí me fascina acostarme tarde por la noche.

Likewise in the second it would be afeitarse. The rest you did in that sentence looks correct

The third has nothing beyond those two words that needs to change (exactly as you changed them). Leave the infinitive as comprar.

In the first two sentences the infinitive is being used as a noun and is the subject of the sentence. It should not be conjugated. In the third, following a preposition it should not be conjugated, if you had to indicate a different subject than the obvious you would need para que the new subject then a verb conjugated in the subjunctive.
