Reflexive Verbs
 Reflexive verbs are used to tell
that a person does something
to or for him- or herself.
 They have 2 parts:
1 - a reflexive pronoun
(me, te, se, nos, os, se)
2 - verb form.

Reflexive
Pronoun
 In English, we really don’t
identify with reflexive verbs.
So these may seem strange to
you.
 In English, a sentence using a
“so called” reflexive verb
might be…
 Lauren brushes her hair.
 Scott bathes himself.
me (to myself)
nos (to ourselves)
te
(to yourself)
os
(to you all)
se
(to himself)
(to herself)
(to itself)
(to Ud. self)
se
(to themselves)
(to you all)
(to each other)
(to Uds. selves)
 You must remember that
these are actions being done
to oneself, by oneself. For
example:
 I wash my (my own) hair.
 I wash myself
 You wash yourself
 He, She, It washes himelf, etc.
 We wash ourselves
 They wash themselves

te lavas
os laváis

 They can always go before a
conjugated verb
 or after and attached to an
infinitive or a present participle.
Before the verb:
 Me voy a lavar el pelo.
After the infinitive:
 Voy a lavarme el pelo.
me cepillo
nos cepillamos
te cepillas
os cepilláis
se cepilla

me ducho

 When using reflexive verbs to
talk about parts of the body,
use the definite article. (the
el, la, los, las that mean “the”)
 Nos lavamos el pelo.
 ¿Te cepillas los dientes?
