LOS VERBOS REFLEXIVOS
Los Verbos Reflexivos A reflexive verb in Spanish consists of two parts: LAVARSE = to wash oneself 1) the main verb: lavar 2) the reflexive pronoun: se The reflexive pronoun refers to the subject of the sentence yo = me nosotros = nos tú = te x él/ella/Ud. = se ellos/ellas/Uds. = se
How to Conjugate Reflexive Verbs Reflexive verbs are conjugated like the regular non- reflexive verbs except for the reflexive pronoun part. For example: lavarse = to wash oneself me lavo nos lavamos te lavas x se lava se lavan The reflexive pronouns go in front of the conjugated verb. The reflexive pronouns are attached to the infinitive of the second verb when we have two verbs in a row.
