3 In this presentation, we are going to look at a special group of verbs called reflexives Lets start out by thinking of the English verb to wash. List several things that you can wash.

4 I wash my clothes I wash the dishes I wash the car I wash the windows I wash my hands I wash my hair

5 I wash the car. I can wash things that are not part of me, that is, they are not part of my body. In Spanish, we say: Yo lavo el carro.

6 I also wash things on my body: hands, face, hair… I wash my hands. in Spanish we say: Me lavo las manos.

7 There are two ways to talk about washing in Spanish. First, to wash something else. Second, to wash part of ones body.

8 If you are washing something that is attached to your body, you need to add the word me Me lavo las manos

9 menos te ---- se

10 Me lavonos lavamos Te lavas ------------ Se lavase lavan The endings are still the same. In this case, these are endings for regular ar verbs in the present tense.

11 Sue bathes herself. reflexive pronoun subject Sue Sue se baña. reflexive pronoun subject

12 The infinitive has an se attached to it to show that the subject is doing something to him/herself in order to get ready. Drop the se Change the verb ending Put the appropriate -ar, -er, or –ir conjugation of the verb.

13 Llamarse: to call oneself Yome llamo Tú te llamas Él se llama Nosotros nos llamamos Ellos se llaman The verb endings are the usual ones!!

14 Levantarse: to get up/to stand up. Sentarse (ie): to sit down Dormirse (ue): to fall asleep Ponerse (-go verb): to put on an article of clothing

15 Yo me levanto Tú te levantas Él se levanta Nosotros nos levantamos Ellos se levantan

16 Yo me siento Tú te sientas Él se sienta Nosotros nos sentamos Ellos se sientan

17 Yo me duermo Tú te duermes Él se duerme Nosotros nos dormimos Ellos se duermen

18 Yo me pongo Tú te pones Él se pone Nosotros nos ponemos Ellos se ponen

19 The verb forms are the same: duermo, duermes, duerme, dormimos, duermen The difference in form is the addition of the reflexive pronouns: me, te, se, nos, se The difference in meaning is: Dormir is to sleep Dormirse is to fall asleep
