Verbs with reflexive pronouns
7
In English A reflexive pronoun can be used to show that the subject acts
upon itself. The reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself,
itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.
He bathes himself.
I made myself some dinner.
The children dress themselves for school.
A

You cut yourself on the glass?
The cat cleans itself.
We admire ourselves in the mirror.
Babies cannot feed themselves.
You found yourselves a new hobby.
She treated herself to ice cream after finishing the race.
He bought himself a CD at the store.
In Spanish Reflexive pronouns can also be used when the subject and object
of a verb are the same. The infinitive of a reflexive verb always contains se:
bañarse. When you conjugate a reflexive verb, the reflexive pronoun changes to
match the subject of the verb.
yo
me baño
nosotros(as)
nos bañamos
tú
te bañas
vosotros(as)
os bañáis
usted, él, ella
se baña
ustedes, ellos, ellas
se bañan
Reflexive pronouns either go before the conjugated verb, or are attached to the
end of an infinitive. With affirmative informal commands, they must be
attached to the end of the verb. When using a reflexive verb with a body part or
clothing, use a definite article instead of a posessive adjective.
¿Me lavo las manos?
Sí, lávate las manos.
Nos tenemos que vestir.
¿Vamos a vestirnos ahora?
B
Circle the reflexive pronoun and the subject it refers to, if it is given. Underline
the reflexive verb.
1. Por la mañana, yo me despierto a las seis y media.
2. Mi hermana se levanta más tarde.
3. Ella y yo nos vestimos después de desayunar.

Negative informal commands
In English An affirmative command tells someone to do something. It is
formed by using the infinitive form of the verb (but without the word to). A
negative command tells someone what not to do. You form a negative command by placing the word(s) don’t or do not before the command. Pronouns
always go after.
Eat your meal.
Talk to your uncle.
Wake yourself up.
A
Don’t eat so much.
Do not talk in class.
The coffee is cold. Don’t drink it.
Circle the verbs that express commands. Then indicate whether the command is
affirmative or negative.
Affirmative Negative
1. If you go to the gym, don’t forget your ID.
✓
2. Be quiet! The teacher is talking.
3. I’m bored. Please take me home.
4. We are inside a building. Don’t smoke!
5. I like this show. Don’t turn it off!
6. Do not step on the grass. It’s wet.
7. Please tell me the truth.
8. Don’t go to the movies tonight.
In Spanish Negative informal commands are used to tell a friend or relative (someone you address as tú) not to do something. Use the word no followed
by the verb form. For most –ar verbs, you form this command by dropping the
final –o of the yo form, and adding –es. For most –er and –ir verbs, you also drop
the final –o of the yo form, and add –as.
–ar verbs:
–er verbs:
–ir verbs:
(yo) trabajo
(yo) corro
(yo) salgo
(yo) duermo

➔
¡No trabajes!
¡No corras!
!No salgas!
¡No duermas!
Don’t work!
Don’t run!
Don’t go out!
Don’t sleep!
These verbs have irregular negative informal commands.
dar ➔ no des
ir ➔ no vayas
ser ➔ no seas
A pronoun in a negative command must go between no and the verb.
Lee esta novela. Pero no la leas en la cama y no te acuestes muy tarde.
Read this novel. But don’t read it in bed, and don’t go to bed too late.
