Repaso Rápido (quick review):
Reflexive Verbs
• ducharse
– To conjugate:
1. Take the “se” (known as the reflexive pronoun)
from the end and put it first before the verb – you
may need to change it accordingly (remember: me,
te, se, nos, se.)
2. Conjugate the verb normally
me ducho
te duchas
se ducha
nos duchamos
se duchan
Reciprocal Actions
• Sometimes the reflexive pronouns se and nos are
used to express the idea “(to) each other.” These
are called reciprocal actions.
• Los novios se abrazaban y se besaban.
– (The bride and groom were hugging each other and
kissing each other.)
• Nos saludamos con un abrazo.
– (We greet each other with a hug.)
