Uses of Reflexive Verbs (pg. 109) • Reflexive Verbs are conjugated with reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, os, and se) which represent the same person as the subject. In other words, reflexive verbs are used to indicate that the subject is performing the action on or for him- or herself. • Me cortolasuñas a menudo. I cut my nails often. • Juan se acostótemprano. Juan went to bed early. • Note that in Spanish, when using reflexive verbs with parts of the body or articles of clothing, the definite article is used in place of the possessive adjective used in English.
