Used to describe a person doing something that involves himself or herself
These verbs use reflexive pronouns that refer to the person doing the action
Reflexive pronouns: me, te, se, nos, and os
Often use reflexive verbs to refer to emotions, feelings, and reactions
To use a reflexive verb, put the reflexive pronoun before the conjugated verb.
EX. Cuando se levanto Marcos?
You can also use them in the infinitive. Put the reflexive pronouns either:
before the conjugated verb
EX. No te debes preocupar.
or attach it to the end of the infinitive
EX. No debes procuparte.
The pronoun se can be used in order to avoid specifying the person who is doing the action.
EX. Se alquila apartamento.
This only indicates someone renting an apartment but not specifically saying who.
When using se the verb is always in third person.If the noun following the verb is singular, verb is in the el/ella form
EX. Aqui se habla espanol.
If the noun is plural, use the ellos/ellas form.EX. Aqui se reparan carros.
These se constructions can be used in any tense.
