2 What is a reflexive verb? A verb is reflexive when the person doing the action is also receiving the action. To “oneself” Ejemplos: – I brush my teeth – I sit down – I wash my hands

3 How to identify a reflexive verb: A reflexive verb has the pronoun SE attached to the infinitive. Ejemplos: – Cepillarse-to brush ones teeth – Sentarse-to sit down – Lavarse-to wash oneself

4 To conjugate: The verb endings (conjugations) remain the same as a non- reflexive verb. For example, the endings for –ar present tense remain: -o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an The difference is in the reflexive pronoun

5 The reflexive pronoun: When conjugating the reflexive verb, remove the SE from the infinitive and place it in front of the conjugated verb. Then, conjugate the infinitive. Your pronoun will always be the same as the performer of the action.
