subject. With reflexive verbs, there are two things
that always match: What is the rule?
•*The ____________
ending of the verb and the _____________
reflexive pronoun
always match.
You wash your face = Te lavas la cara.
(-AS ending because it’s “you,” TE because you do it
to yourself)
Placement of the pronouns will be either
BEFORE THE CONJUGATED VERB or ATTACHED
TO THE INFINITIVE: DESPERTARSE

When conjugating the reflexive verb, form the “se” to match
the verb (yo is me, etc), then put the reflexive pronoun
BEFORE the conjugated verb. bañarse
I bathe =Me baño . I bathed =Me bañé
He bathes se baña_
He bathed _se bañó__
All of you wash yourselves _______________
You all washed yourselves ____________________
We get up (out of bed) ________________________

• If you have two verbs in the sentence, you
have two possible places to put the reflexive
pronoun: (2 verbs, 2 ways)
• BEFORE the conjugated verb
(Me voy a bañar = Myself I am going to bathe).
• OR ATTACHED to the infinitive
• ( still has to match the person = Voy a
bañarme= I am going to bathe myself)
1. She is going to get up (out of bed) =
