What is a Reflexive Verb?
• A verb that ends in “SE”
Ex:
ducharse
cepillarse
lavarse
levantarse
• A verb that describes an action that a person does
to or for himself or herself
Ex:
I bathe (myself)……………….bañarse
She dresses (herself)………..vestirse
• A verb that refers the action of that verb back to
the person; therefore two pronouns are used
Ex:
Yo me baño…………I bathe (myself)
Tú te lavas los dientes……You brush your teeth
**The non-reflexive form of the verb is used for an action that is being
done to someone else….
Ex. Yo lavo el carro. – I wash the car. **
How do you conjugate Reflexive Verbs?
To learn to conjugate reflexive verbs, you need to learn a
different set of pronouns called "reflexive pronouns." These
pronouns are positioned before the verb, while the ending
"se" is dropped and the verb is conjugated normally.
Reflexive Pronouns:
Me – myself
Te- yourself
Se- himself
herself
yourself
Nos- ourselves
Os- yourselves
Se- themselves
yourselves
