Los Verbos Reflexivos
Avancemos 2 – Unidad 2 Lección 2
What is a Reflexive Verb?
• A reflexive verb is a verb that uses a reflexive
pronoun.
• The reflexive pronoun shows that the subject
receives the action of the verb while at the same
time completing the action of the verb.
• In other words, many reflexive verbs are actions
that a person does to or for themselves.
To say that people do something to or
for themselves you use reflexive verbs.
Many personal care words and daily
routine words are reflexive verbs.
Learning Goal – Discuss/describe your
daily routine.
For example, many personal care words and daily
routine words are reflexive verbs
washing one’s hands
lavarse las manos
and brushing one’s teeth
cepillarse los dientes
are reflexive actions because the
person doing the action ALSO
receives the action.
How do you know a verb is reflexive?
In the infinitive form of reflexive verbs,
the reflexive pronoun attaches to the end.
The “se” tells us that it is reflexive.
 ducharse
 afeitarse
How is a Reflexive verb conjugated?
• When you conjugate reflexive verbs, you
conjugate the verb normally and place the
reflexive pronoun before the conjugated
verb.
• Examples:
(Yo) me baño – I bathe myself
(Ella) se lava – She washes herself
(Tú) te cepillas los dientes – You brush your
teeth.
When you conjugate reflexive verbs, you should conjugate
the verb normally and place the pronoun BEFORE the
conjugated verb.
Here are the reflexive pronouns:
me
nos
te
se
se
***You still conjugate the verb as you would normally do,
now you just add a reflexive pronoun before it.
Bañarse – to take a bath/to bathe oneself.
Yo me baño
Nosotros nos bañamos
Tú te bañas
Él/ella/usted se baña
Ellos/ellas/ustedes se
bañan
***You still conjugate the verb as you would normally do,
now you just add a reflexive pronoun before it.
levantarse – to get up/stand up.
Yo me levanto
Nosotros nos
levantamos
Tú te levantas
Él/ella/usted se levanta
Ellos/ellas/ustedes se
levantan
***You still conjugate the verb as you would normally do,
now you just add a reflexive pronoun before it.
ponerse – to put on oneself. (clothing)
Yo me pongo
Nosotros nos ponemos
Tú te pones
Él/ella/usted se pone
Ellos/ellas/ustedes se
ponen
Many reflexive verbs are translated
into English with the word “get” like
vestirse
to get dressed
or
arreglarse
to get ready (presentable)
Some verbs can be reflexive and nonreflexive. Examine the sentences:

• Me despierto a las • Despierto a Celia
a las seis.
seis.
•

reflexive. However, they can have small but important
changes in meaning when they become reflexive.

Paco
Paco
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?
In the present tense and other simple
(single word) tenses it goes in front of the
conjugated verb.
Yo me
peino.
*A NOTE TO REMEMBER
*Since the reflexive pronoun tells what a person is
doing to himself, it is not necessary to use a
possessive pronoun (my, yours, his, her, etc.) when
referring to body parts.
Yo me lavo LAS manos NOT Yo me lavo MIS manos
Since the ME in this sentence says that I am washing
myself…it is already clear that I am washing MY
hands.
Many reflexive verbs are
used to talk about your
morning grooming routine
as you get ready for the
day
and at night when you are
getting ready for bed.

Where does the reflexive pronoun go?
When a reflexive verb follows a conjugated verb (I want to
shower) (I am going to shower), use the correct reflexive
pronoun with the infinitive.
You can ATTACH the pronoun to the infinitive:
Ex: A que hora quieres despertarte?
(What time do you want to wake up?)
You can also place the reflexive pronoun BEFORE the
conjugated verb.
Ex: Me quiero despertar a las siete.
(I want to wake up at seven.)
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?
 With infinitives it can go in front of the
“helping” verb,
 or be “tacked on” to the end of
the infinitive.
