4. Definite Articles
A definite article is generally used instead of a possessive adjective when using a reflexive verb to talk about personal items.
Me pongo los zapatos I put on my shoes.
¿Quieres lavarte las manos? Do you want to wash your hands

5. The word se
sometimes combined with the él/ ella/ Ud. or the ellos/ ellas/ Uds. form of a verb in order to express the action.
Se habla español aquí Spanish is spoken here.
Las verduras se comen muchas People often eat vegetables
veces para el almuerzo for lunch.

She dressed her little sister.
Ella se vistió.
