Spanish 2A

A reflexive verb is used when the subject and the object are the same. The subject is the person doing the action The object to the person/thing to whom the action is being done.

I wash myself –S–Subject: I –O–Object: myself I wash the car –S–Subject: I –O–Object: the car

Reflexive pronoun se at the end of the verb It gets changed to match the object The reflexive pronoun is normally positioned in front of the conjugated verb! Verb After we have moved the reflexive pronoun in front of the verb, we can conjugate the verb as we usually do! me = myselfnos = ourselves te = yourselfos = yourselves se = himself, herself, yourself (formal) se = themselves, yourselves (uds.)

REMEMBER: WE NEVER PUT 2 CONJUGATED VERBS NEXT TO EACH OTHER!!! This applies to reflexive verbs, too! When a reflexive verb is in the infinitive form, we still change the reflexive pronoun to match the object…. but the reflexive pronoun goes at the END of the verb! Yo necesitoduchar Un ejemplo: se. I need to shower (myself). me.
