  2. What are reflexive verbs? • Reflexive pronouns work with a reflexive verb to • Indicate that a person is performing the action • toward or for him- or herself. • These types of verbs are not very common in English, • but are used frequently in Spanish. • Many actions related to personal care or daily routines • are reflexive, but other verbs can be reflexive as well.

  3. What are reflexive verbs? The subject is performing the action on him- or herself, making the object of the verb, the same as the subject. Compare two sentences in which one is reflexive and one is not. I wash myself. (Me lavo.) - myself is the object of wash I wash the dog. (Lavo el perro.) - the dog is the object of wash REFLEXIVE NOT REFLEXIVE

  4. me (to or for myself) te(to or for yourself) se (to or for himself, herself, itself) nos (to or for ourselves) os (to or for you all) se (to or for themselves, you all, or each other) Reflexive Pronouns

  5. Placement of reflexive pronouns • ReflexivePronouns, me, te, se, nos, osand se are placed either before a conjugated verb or attached to the end of an infinitive.

  6. Before the conjugated verb • Tealegras de hablarespañol. (It makes you happy to speak Spanish.) • Se aburre en la clase de matemáticas. (He getsbored in Mathclass.)

  7. After & attached to the infinitive • Voy a acostarme a las 10. (I am going to bed at 10.) • Ellosquierenpeinarse. (They want to brush their hair.)

  8. Reflexive Verbs • Reflexive verbs have two parts: 1. a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, se) 2. and a verb form.

  10. Reflexive Verbs • In English, we really don’t identify with reflexive verbs. So these will seem strange to you.

  11. Think of it like a mirror

  12. Reflexive Verbs • In English, a sentence using a “so called” reflexive verb might be… • Lauren brushes her hair. • Scott bathes himself.

  13. Reflexive Verbs • You must remember that these are actions being done to oneself, by oneself. For example: • I wash my (my own) hair.

  14. TO WASH ONESELF • I wash myself • You wash yourself • He, She, It washes himself, etc. • We wash ourselves • Ya’ll wash yourselves • They wash themselves

  15. me lavo te lavas se lava nos lavamos os laváis se lavan LAVARSE

  16. me cepillo te cepillas se cepilla nos cepillamos os cepilláis se cepillan CEPILLARSE

  17. me ducho te duchas se ducha nos duchamos os ducháis se duchan DUCHARSE

  18. DON’T USE IT WHEN… • You do not use a reflexive pronoun or reflexive verb when the action is not performed on one self. If you are bathing yourself… that’s reflexive. If you are bathing your friend… NOT REFLEXIVE

  19. Reflexive Verbs • When using reflexive verbs to talk about parts of the body, use the definite article. (the el, la, los, las that mean “the”)

  20. Reflexive Verbs • Noslavamoselpelo. • ¿Te cepillaslosdientes?
