• Alguno and ninguno must match the gender of the noun they replace or modify. They have different forms when used before masculine or
singular nouns.• If a verb is proceeded by no, words that follow must be negative. A
double negative is required in Spanish when no proceeds the verb.• However, if a negative words, such as nunca or nadie, comes before
the verb, a second negative is not needed.

• To describe people doing things for themselves, use reflexive verbs.
• Ex: brushing one’s teeth or combing one’s hair• Reflexive pronouns are used with reflexive verbs
to indicate that the subject of the sentence receives the action of the verb.
• Many verbs can be used with or without reflexive pronouns. When there is no reflexive pronoun,
the person doing the action does not receive the action
Sara se lava. ← Reflexive Not reflexive →Sara lava el carro.
Sara washes herself. Sara washes the car.• They include the concept of possession.• You can put the reflexive pronoun in front of
the conjugated verb.
* When you use the infinitive form of a reflexive verb after a conjugated verb, be sure to use the
correct reflexive pronoun.
• In the reflexive construction, the subject is also the object
• A person does as well as receives the action
• The subject, the pronoun, and the verb are all in the same form• Por ejemplo:
Yo me levanto a las ocho de la mañana.
• How do you form these verbs?
1. Conjugate the verb as always
• Posición de los pronombres reflexivos
1. In front of a conjugated verb
2. Attached to a gerund
3. Attached to an infinitive
4. Attached to an infinitive command
*Reflexive= se on the end
-acostarse
-bañarse
REFLEXIVES

Te lavas Os laváis
Se lava Se lavan
They give instructions or commands to someone by using the Affirmative tú commands of regular
verbs.
*Notice it is a tú command, but ends like a 3rd house form
Remember that when you use a pronoun with an affirmative command, the pronoun attaches to the command
• Pon te otra camisa.
Put on (yourself) another shirt

• When using an object pronoun, attach the pronoun to the end of the command.
ex. Cruza el parque → ¡Crúzalo!
1) Affirmative: Drop the –s
2) Put in yo form, change vowel, add –s
3) Affirmative irregulars: Di haz, ven, pon, sal, se, ten, ven
4) Irregular Commands:
Tener No tengas
Venir No vengas
Dar/ decir
No des/ digas
Ir No vayas
Ser No seas
Hacer No hagas

When you tell someone what not to do, use a negative command. Negative tú
commands are formed by taking you form of the
present tense, dropping the –o, and adding the appropriate ending.
A few verbs have irregular negative tú commands.
Notice that none of the yo forms of these verbs end in -
o

verb combinations, the 2nd verb is not conjugated. It is
left in the infinitive form. You would
