2 Using Infinitives A reflexive pronoun can go at the end of an infinitive or before a conjugated verb. The meaning of the statement or question does not change. Yo no quiero afeitarme hoy. = Yo no me quiero afeitar hoy. I don’t want to shave today.

3 Using Infinitives To say what someone just did, use the present tense of acabar de followed by an infinitive. Acabo de lavar el carro. I just washed my car. Los niños acaban de acostarse. The children just went to bed.

4 Conjugations of acabar de…

5 Using Infinitives Use the preposition para (in order to) before an infinitive to explain your purpose for doing something. Verbs after prepositions and prepositional phrases such as para, antes de (before)and después de (after)are in the infinitive form. Tengo que levantarme temprano para levantar pesas con Ana en el gimnasio. I have to get up early (in order) to lift weights with Ana in the gym.
