Reflexive Verbs The subject of a verb is the person or thing “doing” the verb The object of a verb is the person or thing receiving the action of the verb A verb is reflexive when the subject and the object are the same. Ejemplo: I wash myself. subject: I verb: wash object: myself Since the subject and object are the same, the verb is reflexive. I wash the car. subject: I verb: wash object: car Since the subject and object are different, the verb is not reflexive.

Verbos Reflexivos When a verb is reflexive, the infinitive ends in "se.“ ejemplos: lavarse, despertarse, acostarse When you learned to conjugate regular verbs, you needed to learn a set of pronouns called "subject pronouns." Ejemplo: lavar—yo lavo, tú lavas, él, ella, ud. lava etc. To learn to conjugate reflexive verbs, you need to learn a different set of pronouns called "reflexive pronouns." When conjugating these pronouns are positioned before the verb, the ending "se" is dropped and the verb is conjugated normally. Ejemplo: lavarse—yo me lavo: I wash (myself)

Verbos Reflexivos The reflexive pronouns: me (myself) te (yourself) se (himself, herself, yourself) nos (ourselves) os (yourselves) se (themselves, yourselves) The purpose of the reflexive pronouns is to show that the subject takes action on themselves. Ejemplo: Juan se lava la cara: Juan washes his face. (reflexive) Juan lava su carro. (non-reflexive) : Juan washes his car. Note: When referring to body parts (reflexive), use the definite article, thus "la cara" not "su cara."

Verbos Reflexivos Note that many, many verbs can be made reflexive. All it means when a verb is reflexive is that the action remains with the subject. EN FIN: LOS PASOS 1: take off the “se,” match it to the subject—subject and object are the same—and position it in front of the verb 2: conjugate the verb normally for the subject (just like always)
