Conjugating
• It seems tricky, but there are two easy step you always
have to take when you see a reflexive verb (that is, a verb
with SE attached):
1. Write the reflexive
pronouns – me,te,se, nos, se
2. Conjugate the verb
What do I do with the
“se” at the end of the
infinitive
• lavarse < what do I do with that se?
• Anytime you see a verb with “se” attached you have to
automatically add the reflexive pronouns to the
conjugation chart.
• REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
• me
nos
• te
• se
se
Example:
• Conjugate ponerse
• Step #1 Write the reflexive pronouns
• Step #2 Conjugate the verb
Me pongo
Te pones
Se pone
Nos ponemos
Se ponen
Conjugating a reflexive verb
Move the
pronoun to the
front of the
conjugation.
Change
the
pronoun
where
necessary.
Remove

Reflexive or Not?
• Verbs are reflexive when the doer and the done to are the SAME but
are NOT reflexive when the receiver is NOT THE SAME as the
doer
• Lavarse: Reflexive when you’re washing yourself
• Lavar: Not reflexive when you are washing your car, your dog,
the dishes, etc.
• Ponerse: Reflexive when you’re putting something on yourself
• Poner: Not reflexive when you are putting something somewhere
else, like a table
REMEMBER: The action has to be
reflected back to the person
doing the action to be
REFLEXIVE.
