Reflexive Verbs:
Explanation and
study guide
Subjects:
Yo = I
Tú = you (informal)
Él = he
Ella = she
Usted = you (formal)
Nosotros = we
Ellos = them
Ellas = them
Ustedes = “you guys”
Reflexive Pronouns and their definitions:
(Yo): Me = Myself
(Nosotros): Nos = Ourselves
(Tú): Te = Yourself
(Él/Ella/Usted): Se = His/Herself
(Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes): Se = themselves
Regular verb + reflexive pronoun = Reflexive verb
Example: Preparar + se = Prepararse
A verb is an action that happens. A reflexive verb is a an action that a person
does to themselves.
Lavar = to wash
Lavarse = to wash yourself
Secar = to dry
Secarse = to dry yourself
When to conjugate the verb:
When not to conjugate the verb
 When it is the first verb in the sentence
 When it is the only verb in a sentence
 When it is separated from other verbs
or other parts of the sentence with a
comma
 When it is right after a conjugated verb
 When it follows “antes de” (before) and
“después de” (after)
 When it follows “tener que”
Comprehension Questions
1) How do reflexive verbs differ from verbs that are not reflexive? How can
you tell the difference between the two?
2) What is the difference between “arreglar” and “arreglarse?”
3) Why doesn’t this sentence make sense: “Yo me lavo mi perro.” ?
4) When do you conjugate the verb? When should you not conjugate the verb?
Nosotros ____________________ la cara antes de ir a la escuela. (Lavarse)
Steps to conjugating a
reflexive verb
STEP 1: Separate the verb and the reflexive pronoun. You may think that they are together one word,
but they are really two separate verbs pushed together.
Lavar = To wash
se = oneself
Lavarme = to wash onself
Lavarse  Lavar
se
STEP 2: Conjugate the reflexive pronoun ONLY! The reflexive pronoun ALWAYS has to match the
subject.
Lavar
se  Lavar
nos
STEP 3: Decide if you must conjugate the main verb or not.
STEP 4: If yes, conjugate the verb
and then put the reflexive pronoun
before the word.
Lavar
nos  Lavamos
nos 
Nos Lavamos
STEP 4: If no, leave the verb and
just tack the reflexive pronoun right
onto the end of it.
A few more examples…
Tú ____________________
para la fiesta. (maquillarse)
Maquillar
se
Maquillar
te
Maquillas
te
Te Maquillas
Notice how each part – the verb and the reflexive pronoun – match the subject (tú)
A few more examples…
Ellas ____________________ a las
siete de la mañana. (despertarse)
Despertar
se
Despertar
se
Despiertan
se
Se despiertan
Notice how each part – the verb and the reflexive pronoun – match the subject (Ellas)
A few more examples…

The verb isn’t conjugated. It is left in the infinitive (with –ar, -er, and –ir on the
end) because it follows “antes de”.

Pintar
se
Pintar
se
Pintarse
The verb isn’t conjugated. It is left in the infinitive (with –ar, -er, and –ir on the
