• Reflexive pronouns work with a reflexive verb to Indicate that a person is performing the action toward or for him- or herself.
• These types of verbs are not very common in English, but are used frequently in Spanish.
• Many actions related to personal care or daily routines are reflexive, but other verbs can be reflexive as well.

The subject is performing the action on him- or herself, making the object of the verb, the same as the subject. Compare two sentences in which one is reflexive and one is not.
I wash myself. (Me lavo.) - myself is the object of wash
I wash the dog. (Lavo el perro.) - the dog is the object of wash

Reflexive Verbs
In English, we really don’t identify with reflexive verbs. So these will seem strange to you.

You must remember that these are actions being done to oneself, by oneself. For example:
I wash my (my own) hair.
