  1. Reflexive Verbs and Pronouns Verbos y PronombresReflexivos

  2. Reflexive verbs • Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject of the sentence has performed an action on itself. In other words, in a reflexive sentence the subject is the same as the object. For example: José got up. He put his shoes on. José se levanto. Se pusosus zapatos.

  3. Reflexive verbs • In Spanish, parts of the body are never preceded by personal pronouns. In other words, you never talk about “my teeth”—you talk about “the teeth,” with a reflexive verb preceding it. For example: In English you would say: • I comb my hair. In Spanish, you would say: • Mepeino el pelo.

  4. When a Verb is Reflexive and When It is Not • If you are reading Spanish, you will know that a verb is reflexive by the ending –setacked onto its infinitive form. Below is a list of some common reflexive verbs. Note the common –se ending. alejarse - enojarse - lavarse - cepillarse

  5. To Get Emotional with a Reflexive Verb • When a person becomes emotional, the verb used will often be reflexive. • For example, if you get angry, become sad, or feel happy for someone, you will need to express yourself using a reflexive verb. • Estoyenojado … I am angry. • Estoyfeliz … I am happy. • Estoy triste … I am sad.

  6. Position of reflexive pronouns • Like the direct and indirect object pronouns, reflexive pronouns come directly beforethe conjugated verb or attach to an infinitive, present participle or affirmative command. • For example: Vestirse(to get dressed) Mevisto en la mañana.

  7. Reflexives These are the forms of reflexive pronouns: • me (yo) • te(tú) • se (él - ella - usted) • nos(nosotros) • se (ellos - ellas - ustedes)

  8. … Note… • When we refer to things that are attached to the body, for example, washing our hands, we need to add a reflexive pronoun. • melavolasmanos • te lavas el pelo • se lava la cara

  9. How do you use those forms? • The infinitive of the verb has -se attached to it to show that the subject is doing something to him / herself. • Example: lavarse - Yo me lavo. • Drop the -se from the reflexive verb (lavar). • Conjugate the verb as usual (lavo, 1st person). • Put the appropriate reflexive pronoun in front of the verb (melavo).

  10. Let’s try one. • Llamarse: to call oneself • yo ____________ • tú ____________ • él _____________ • nosotros ____________ • ellos _____________ me llamo te llamas se llama se llaman nosllamamos Write the reflexive pronoun and the conjugated verb.

  11. Brillante! • yo mellamo • tú te llamas • élse llama • nosotros nosllamamos • ellossellaman Conjugating the infinitive verb is the same, the only difference is that we have to add the reflexive pronoun (before the verb).

  12. Okay, how about some more reflexive verbs? • Levantarse: to get up / stand up • Sentarse (e > ie): to sit down • Dormirse (o > ue): to fall asleep • Ponerse (-go): to put on an article of clothing

  13. Levantarse • yo me levanto • tú televantas • él se levanta • nosotrosnoslevantamos • ellos se levantan This verb has regular endings.

  14. Sentarse (e > ie) • yo me siento • tú tesientas • él se sienta • nosotros nossentamos • ellos se sientan This verb is stem-changing.

  15. Dormirse • yo me duermo • tú teduermes • él se duerme • nosotros nosdormimos • ellos se duermen This is another stem-changing verb.

  16. Ponerse • yo me pongo • tú te pones • él se pone • nosotros nosponemos • ellos se ponen This irregular verb conjugates as usual

  17. A morning routine • Todos los días, yo ____ ____ (levantarse) a las 7:00. Yo ______ (ir) al baño, __ _____ (lavarse) la cara, y __ _____ (afeitarse). Luego __ ____ (vestirse = e > i) y ___ ____ (tomar) una taza de cafe. Finalmente, __ _____ (lavarse) los dientes antes de salir. • Hint: not all the verbs in this paragraph are reflexive!

  18. Let’s do another • Juana _____ ______ (despertarse = e > ie) a las 6:30, ella ____ _______ (levantarse) los dientes, ______ (ir) al baño, y ___ _____ (ducharse). Ella __ ____ (secarse), __ _____ (peinarse), y ___ ____ (pintarse) la cara.

  19. Other things to remember • If you use certain two-part verb combinations, the reflexive verb can either be before the first verb or can be attached to the second verb. • Querer + levantarse • Quierolevantarme or • Mequierolevantar • Make sure that the reflexive pronoun agrees with the subject: yo <> me, tú <> te

  20. What about progressives? • Remember that progressives are also two-part verb combinations: • Estoycomiendo • Estamosescribiendo • Reflexive pronouns can go before or after the verb: • Estoylavándome el pelo • Estamoslavándonos el pelo

  21. Whew! That’s a lot to remember! • True! Note that many, many verbs can be made reflexive. All it means when a verb is reflexive is that the action remains with the subject. • When a verb is reflexive, the infinitive ends in "se." • The reflexive pronouns are not subject pronouns; rather they are object pronouns.
