1. LOS VERBOS REFLEXIVOS

2. Los Verbos Reflexivos
A reflexive verb in Spanish consists of two parts:
LAVARSE = to wash oneself
1) the main verb: lavar
2) the reflexive pronoun: se
The reflexive pronoun refers to the subject of the sentence
yo = me nosotros = nos
tú = te x
él/ella/Ud. = se ellos/ellas/Uds. = se

3. How to Conjugate Reflexive Verbs
Reflexive verbs are conjugated like the regular non- reflexive verbs except for the reflexive pronoun part.
For example: lavarse = to wash oneself
me lavo nos lavamos
te lavas x
se lava se lavan
The reflexive pronouns go in front of the conjugated verb.
The reflexive pronouns are attached to the infinitive
of the second verb when we have two verbs in a row.
