A reflexive verb is used when the subject and the object are the same.
The subject is the person doing the actionThe object to the person/thing to whom the
action is being done.
Reflexive pronoun Indicated by “se” at
the end of the infinitive form
It gets changed to match the object
The reflexive pronoun is normally moved in front of the conjugated verb!
Verb After we have
moved the reflexive pronoun to the front, we can conjugate the verb as we usually do!me = myself
nos = ourselves
te = yourselfos = yourselves
se = himself, herself, yourself (formal)
se = themselves, yourselves (uds.)
Yo me lavoI wash myself

Usted se lavaYou (formal) wash yourself
Ellos se lavanThey wash themselves
Ustedes se lavanYou all wash yourselves

REMEMBER: WE NEVER PUT 2 CONJUGATED VERBS NEXT TO EACH OTHER!!!
This applies to reflexive verbs, too! When a reflexive verb is in the infinitive form,
we still change the reflexive pronoun to match the object…. but the reflexive pronoun stays at the END of the
verb!
Yo necesito duchar
Un ejemplo:
se.
I need to shower (myself).
me.
