Transcript ¡Atención! - Saratoga High School

A reflexive verb is used to indicate
that the subject does something to or for himself
or herself. In other words, it “reflects” the action
of the verb back to the subject. Reflexive verbs
always use reflexive pronouns.

The pronoun se attached to an infinitive

reflexive pronoun agrees with the subject.

Like object pronouns, reflexive pronouns
generally appear before a conjugated verb.

may be placed before the conjugated verb or
attached to the infinitive or present participle.
