I put 'Sono andate', thinking of a group of women, and lost a heart. :( Is that not also correct for 'they', with the past participle agreeing in number and gender with the subject, because the auxilliary verb is essere?

This word order thing is getting ridiculous. It was always my understanding that the adverb came directly after verb. But the last three questions the adverb was stuck at the end of the sentence. Why??

I thought that in the compound tenses like the passato prossimo the adverb, here, recentemente, could (should) be placed after the auxiliary verb but before the past participle, as in sono recentemente andati in lieu of following the verb as in sono andati recentemente. I am surprised to see that both constructions are apparently wrong and do not know why.
