  2. Reflexive Verbs • English Grammar Connection: Reflexive verbs describe actions done to or for oneself. In English, reflexive pronouns end in –self or –selves and show that the person doing the action also receives the action. • You know that a verb is reflexive if the infinitive form ends with the letters se.
