  4. What is a reflexive verb in Spanish? (Verb=ACTION) It is a when the Doer of the action is the Receiver as well. In Spanish we add the reflexive pronouns, me te, se, nos, os, se, to our sentence to make the difference between a normal sentence. How do we choose the right reflexive pronoun? It depends on the subject pronoun you are using and YOU HAVE TO MEMORIZE THEM. In English SOMETIMES these pronouns translate as myself, yourself, etc, or each other but only sometimes. Often, we wouldn’t translate them at all. Spanish is a foreign language, so PRACTICE,PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
