Isn't it supposed to be: Me duele la boca. (In English, we say "
MY mouth hurts") I thought that it was always impersonal when talking about parts of the body. Where is the answer to that in your chart?
And the same with the question about singular vs. plural. I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at in your chart to find the answer to that.
Now I'm even more confused.
