Verbs and Expressions that use the infinitive When you use two verbs together in Spanish, the second one is usually the infinitive.

The verbs and expressions that are often followed by an infinitive are: Me gusta – ______________________________________________________________ Me encanta - ___________________________________________________________ Poder (o-ue) – ____________________________________________________________ Deber – ______________________________________________________________ Preferir (e – ie)– ________________________________________________________ Querer (e – ie) – __________________________________________________________ Pensar (e – ie) – __________________________________________________________ Necesitar – ______________________________________________________________ Tener que – ______________________________________________________________ Ir a (future simple) - ______________________________________________________ - Acabar de - ______________________________________________________________ On your notebook page , write one sentence with each one of the terms above.

Todos los días me baño y me cepillo los dientes. ________________________________________________ Cuando se levanta se lava la cara. Tú te pones el sombrero y te afeitas todas las mañanas. _________________________________________________ On your notebook write 10 sentences using conjugated reflexive verbs.

LAVARSE How does this work? Then you insert the reflexive pronouns before the conjugated verbs First, you conjugate your verb normally, ignoring the ending SE. ME LAVO NOS LAVAMOS TE LAVAS SE LAVA SE LAVAN LAVO LAVAMOS LAVAS LAVA LAVAN LAVARSE

Also… When you have two verbs together, remember that only the first one is conjugated. (Check your notebook for more info) With reflexive verbs you can attach the reflexive pronoun before the conjugated verb or after the infinitive, as one word. Ex: Me quiero cepillar los dientes. Quiero cepillarme los dientes. ¿Te prefieres pintar las uñas o arreglar el pelo? ¿Prefieres pintarte las uñas o arreglarte el pelo? ¿Ana se va a cortar el pelo? ¿Ana va a cortarse el pelo? ¿Nos vamos a preparar para la fiesta? ¿Vamos a prepararnos para la fiesta?
