To conjugate…
When we conjugate a reflexive verb, you need
to separate it into the verb and the “-se”
ending.
 1) Identify subject
 2) Choose pronoun
 3) Conjugate verb normally for subject
EX:
 1) Yo 2) me 3) mirarmiro
 1) Ella 2) se 3) maquillarmaquilla

English Connection
Reflexive verbs describe actions done to
or for oneself.
 In English, reflexive pronouns end in
–self or –selves and show that the subject
both does and receives the action of the
verb.
 I am teaching myself Spanish
 You hurt yourself running

What does “reflexive” really mean?
• Example:
• You can wash things that are NOT part
of you or attached to you- like your car .
• You can wash parts of yourself- like your
hands.
•If you are washing something that is NOT
part of you, you would use the verb LAVAR.
•If you are washing something that IS part
of you, you would use the verb LAVARSE.
