Seriously? "he went with his backpack on his shoulder" is not correct??? I'm pulling the little bit of hair left on my head...

Good question. "Ir" has the specific meaning of going somewhere, whereas "irse" generally denotes leaving a place. "Él se fue" has the meaning of "he left" while "Él fue" has the meaning of "he went." I hope this helps. A subtle difference, albeit an important one!

In a present tense it is. "Go away" and "leave" have almost the same meaning.
But this is a past tense so you can say "left" or "went away"

"me voy" normally is thought of as "I'm leaving/I'm going" as opposed to "I'm going AWAY" so I think any variation on that means "leaving" instead of going "away" ie me fui = I left, se fue = he/she left"

And I put 'he went with his rucksack on his shoulder' and just waited to lose my last heart, as previously it wouldn't accept rucksack - and yay! Accepted!

Why won't they accept "went away"? This is what irse means, same meaning as "to leave".

"He went off with his rucksack ..." not accepted. Any thoughts please?

Also, "espalda" is "back" though, interestingly, I inadvertantly found that (and I am not sure how correct Google Translate is) "shoulderS" plural is translated as "espalda". Maybe because if you have something on both shoulders, it is really on your back?

I know it's a little redundant, but I put "he went with his shoulder bag at the shoulder", because they gave "shoulder bag" = mochila, in the hints. What's wrong?

Él se fue = he left but él fue = he went, so that's probably the biggest issue.
Mochila usually means backpack (or rucksack) in my experience. Apparently, it can also translate to shoulder bag or book bag in the UK.

isn't mochila = backpack, bolsa = bag ( ie handbag/purse or a bag (of groceries)? Would mochila normally be translated as just a "bag"?
