2. What are reflexive verbs? • A reflexive verb is used when the subject and the object are the same. • The subject is the person doing the action • The object to the person/thing to whom the action is being done.

4. Reflexive verbs have 2 parts • 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!

9. Reflexives in the infinitive form • 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! Un ejemplo: I need to shower (myself). duchar Yo necesito se. me.
