  4. 2 Different Meanings • An action that reflects back on the subject. -Yo me lavo I wash (myself) -Ella se levanta She gets up. 2. An action in which 2 or more subjects interact. -Nosotrasnosreunimospor la tarde. We get together in the afternoon. -Ellas se miran. They look at each other.

  5. Examples • I wake at 9:00. Yo me despierto a lasnueve. • He showers at 3:00. Élse ducha a lastres. • We dress at 4:00. Nosotrosnosvestimos a lasseis y diez.

  6. What to do… If the verb that is reflexive is part of a verb phrase and isn’t conjugated, add the reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, etc.) to the end of it (the verb).

  7. Examples • I want to eat breakfast. Yoquierodesayunarme. • He is going to dress himself. Élva a vestirse. • We are going to stay. Nosotrosvamos a querdarnos.

  8. Reflexive vs. Non-reflexive Dormirse= to fall asleep • I always sleep 8 hours. Siempreduermo 8 horas. Dormir = to sleep • I almost always fall asleep when I study. Casisiempre me duermocuandoestudio.

  9. Reflexive vs. Non-reflexive Ponerse = to put on • I put on my shoes. Me pongo los zapatos. Poner = to put or to place • I put the shoes in the locker. Pongo los zapatos en el armario.

  10. Reflexive vs. Non-reflexive The meaning of the sentence can change if you use the reflexive pronoun. • Using the reflexive pronoun expresses a reciprocal action -the idea of each other.

  11. Examples • Llamo a mi amigo. I call my friend. • Mi amigo y yonosllamamos. My friend and I call each other.

  12. Reflexive vs. Non-reflexive • With non-reflexive the subject does the action to someone or something else. • With reflexive the subject does the action to itself.
