Los Verbos Reflexivos
Julia Frances
To say that people do something to or for themselves you use reflexive verbs.
For example:washing one’s handslavarse las manos
and brushing one’s teethcepillarse los dientes
are reflexive actions because the person doing the action ALSO receives the action.
Many reflexive verbs are translated into English with the word “get” like vestirse to get dressed
orarreglarse to get ready (presentable)
How do you know a verb is reflexive?
It ends in “se” in the infinitive form. ducharse
cepillarse
afeitarse
Here we are seeing the difference between a reflexive verb and a non reflexive verb.

Claudia is getting her hair cut BY Ana. She is NOT doing the action TO HERSELF so the non reflexive verb “cortar” is used.

Paco Paco

Letter “B” is reflexive because Paco is washing his (own) hands.

How do you conjugate a
reflexive verb?
Subject Reflexive Prounoun
Translation
All reflexive verbs are used with a reflexive pronoun.
Each reflexive prounoun matches up with the subject prounoun that it “reflects”.
yo
él/ella/usted
metú
myself
nosotrosellos/ellas ustedes
tesenosse
yourselfhimself/herself/itself/yourself
ourselvesthemselves, yourselves, each other
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?
In the present tense and other simple (single word) tenses it goes in front of the conjugated verb.
Yo me peino.
Where does the reflexive pronoun go? With infinitives it can go in front of the
“helping” verb,
Yo voy a vestir. Yo voy a vestir
meme.
or be “tacked on” to the end of the infinitive.
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?It is the same with present participles (“ing” verbs ending in ando, iendo or endo ).
Yo estoy duchando. Estoy duchando
me me.
It can go in front of the “helping” verb, or be “tacked on” to the end of the present participle.
Some verbs can be reflexive AND non reflexive. However, they can have small but important changes in meaning when they become reflexive.

levantar to get up levantarse get oneself up
bañar to bathe bañarse to be bathed
