1 Reflexive Verbs

2 In English Reflexive verbs describe actions done to or for oneself. In English, reflexive pronouns end in –self or -selves and show that the subject both does and receives the action of the verb.

3 Reflexive pronouns In Spanish, all reflexive verbs are expressed with a reflexive pronoun. Menos Teos Sese

4 Here’s how In the infinitive form of reflexive verbs, the reflexive pronoun attaches to the end: bañarse. (to bathe oneself) When you conjugate the reflexive verb, the pronoun appears before the conjugated verb. Me baño (I bathe myself, or I take a bath)

5 For example Bañarse Me bañonos bañamos Te bañasos bañáis Se bañase bañan

6 Another example Cepillarse Me cepillonos cepillamos Te cepillasos cepilláis Se cepillase cepillan

7 Fill in the blank with the correct reflexive pronoun 1. Yo ___ despierto a las seis. 2. ¿A qué hora ___ despiertas tú? 3. Mi hermana __ levanta a las seis y media. 4. Mis hermanos y yo __ lavamos las manos. 5. Los niños ___ acuestan temprano.

8 Fill in the blank with the reflexive pronoun and verb form 1. Despertarse (e-ie) Yo___ ________ Nosotros ___ __________ 2. afeitarse Tú ____ _________ José ___ ____________

9 continue 3. maquillarse Los chicas ___ __________ Mi hermana ___ __________ 4. Ponerse la ropa Yo ___ ___________ Tú ___ _____________

10 Note: When a reflexive verb follows a conjugated verb, use the correct reflexive pronoun with the infinitive. ¿A qué hora quieres despertarte? What time do you want to wake up? Voy a levantarme a las seis. I am going to get up at six

11 In other words: 1. conjugate the first verb 2. keep reflexive verb in the infinitive form 3. attach appropriate reflexive pronoun to the end of the infinitive I want to shower (myself) at 7. Quiero ducharme a las siete.
