Los verbos reflexivosSrta. Phillips

What are reflexive verbs?We use reflexive verbs to talk about actions

we do to and for ourselves.For example:

Brushing one’s teethWashing one’s hairGetting dressedBrushing one’s hair

Would it still be reflexive if…?

You were brushing your dog’s teeth?You were washing the dishes?You were dressing your Barbie?

Answer: NO!

Which piece of the verb is reflexive?Reflexive verbs have 2 pieces:

The first is the infinitive part of the verb which, when we conjugate it, tells us who is doing the action.

The second is the reflexive pronoun which tells us who is receiving the action of the verb.

Take a look: Lavarse The “se” on the end is the reflexive

pronoun. In addition to conjugating the verb,

we have to change the pronoun.

For example:Let’s continue to work with lavarse

If I want to say that I wash my face, I would say:

Me lavo la cara.

Would this be reflexive? Yes!If I want to say that I wash the car, I would say:

Lavo el coche.

Would this be reflexive? NO!

So, what are the reflexive pronouns?They are:

Me Nos

Te Os

Se Se

Se Se

pronounStep 4 - place the reflexive pronoun

Cepillarse (to brush one’s hair)

Don’t be so quick to conjugate reflexive verbs. You gotta take that pronoun and rearrange, and maybe change. If the reflexive verb is infinitive, baby change that pronoun, even at the end.
