Reflexive Verbs generally refer to actions that people do to/for/with themselves. • We usually think of personal care verbs when we think of Reflexives. • Reflexive verbs are also often verbs that express emotions. • We can recognize a Reflexive verb by the –se attached to the end of the infinitive. • Lavarse • Maquillarse • Vestirse • Ponerse
Reflexive Pronoun • The Reflexive Pronoun (-se) will change to match the person doing the action. • Yo me • Tú te • El/Ella/Ud. se • Nosotros nos • Vosotros os • Ellas/Ellos/Uds. se
Por ejemplo Lavarse Yo me lavo Tú te lavas Ella se lava Vosotros os lavais Nosotros nos lavamos Ellos se lavan
With Conjugated Verbs: When the verb is conjugated the pronoun comes directly before the verb. • Anita se lavó el pelo anoche. • Yo me acuesto temprano los lunes. • Tú siempre te vistes bien.
With Compound Verbs using Infinitives: When we have two verbs working together we conjugate the first and leave the second as an infinitive. We have two choices on pronoun placement: • Yo me voy a duchar. • Yo voy a ducharme.
With Actions in Progress: With actions in progress we have two choices for pronoun placement: 1. Ella se está maquillando. 2. Ella está maquillándose.
With Affirmative Commands: With Affirmative Commands we will ALWAYS attach the pronoun to the end of the verb: • ¡Báñate! • ¡Báñense!
With Negative Commands: With negative commands we will ALWAYS put the pronoun in front of the verb: • ¡No te bañes! • ¡No se bañen!
Remember that when a verb is reflexive we can NEVER forget to use the appropriate pronouns with it!!! We can’t just leave them off.
