Reflexive verbs 1
Reflexive verbs are generally used to express actions that we do
to ourselves, e.g. I wash myself, or often have the word get
e.g. I get washed. In Spanish you use a ‘reflexive pronoun’ in
place of myself or get:
In the dictionary, the
letters se on the end
of the infinitive tell
you it is a reflexive
verb.
lavarse - to get
washed
1. Write out the verb as if it were a
normal regular verb.
