Ah Vicky
I see you are from Mexico. I believe in Spain "confundir la velocidad con el tocino" means to get things mixed up. Or as we would say in England if you get things wrong very badly. To not know your arse from your elbow.

Thanks for pointing out the penso error

el problema verdadero es confundo la velocidad con el tocino.

haha it's ok..

Your sentence was ok.. I just don't think huir can be conjugated as a "verbo tácito". Difficult to explain because that doesn't exist in English...

Yes, run away with somebody... Huir con alguien... =)

Not only that, where on earth did penso come from. Must be what I now call a senior moment.

I was trying to come up with a sentence using huirse in the manner David H mentions above.

I'm not sure if it's grammatically correct to say 'huirme'...
sounds a bit strange...

"Pienso huir con la mujer de mi hermano"
.... that sounds better =)

So I could say

penso de huirme con la mujer de mi hermano.

My brother would have nothing to worry about as I don't have one.

Am I right in saying then, that you cannot have huirSE as Jane has posted. This would mean fleeing from yourself which you cannot do.
