Reflexive Verbs (the verbs with SE!) Reflexive Verbs Reflexive verbs are used to tell that a person does something to or for themselves. Ex: bañarse: to bathe one’s self Reflexive Verbs In English, we really don’t identify with reflexive verbs. So these will seem strange to you. Reflexive Verbs In English, a sentence using a “so called” reflexive verb might be… Lauren brushes her hair. Scott bathes himself. HOW TO USE REFLEXIVE: Reflexive verbs use Reflexive Pronouns. Though they are different, you can use them in the same way, like the verb GUSTAR Reflexive Pronouns me (to or for myself) nos (to or for ourselves) te (to or for yourself) os (to or for you all) se (to or for himself, herself, itself) se (to or for themselves, you all, or each other) Reflexive Verbs Reflexive verbs have two parts: 1. a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, se) 2. and a verb form. Reflexive Verbs LAVARSE(to wash oneself) Verb Reflexive Form Pronoun When you see a Reflexive Verb (a verb with a SE attached) an explosion should go off in your “I need to do something different to this verb!” head. You should: 1) take off the SE 2) put a reflexive pronoun in front 3) and conjugate the verb: LAVARSE me te se nos os se + lavo lavas lava lavamos laváis lavan LAVARSE me lavo nos lavamos te lavas os laváis se lava se lavan TO WASH ONESELF I wash myself You wash yourself He, She, It washes himself, etc. We wash ourselves Y’all wash yourselves They wash themselves CEPILLARSE me cepillo nos cepillamos te cepillas os cepilláis se cepilla se cepillan DUCHARSE me ducho nos duchamos te duchas os ducháis se ducha se duchan Reflexive Pronouns WITH TWO VERBS: They can either go before a conjugated verb or attached to an infinitive. Reflexive Pronouns Before the verb: Me voy a lavar el pelo. After the infinitive: Voy a lavarme el pelo. 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”) Reflexive Verbs Nos lavamos el pelo. ¿Te cepillas los dientes?
