Reflexive VerbsDos mundos, p. 172-173

• A verb is reflexive when the subject and object
  are the same.
• English uses words that end in self for this
  idea
• I wash myself. (As opposed to I wash the car.)
• He talks to himself. (As opposed to He talks to
  me.)
• Spanish reflexive verbs are for actions that
  people do to themselves.
• Reflexive verbs are still ar, -er, or ir, but
  they also end in -se
• lavarse to wash oneself (As opposed to lavar
  to wash)
• ponerse la ropa to dress oneself (As opposed
  to just poner)
• There is also an extra step to take when
  conjugating

levant
ar
se
levantarse
levantamos
nos
levanto
me
(yo)
(nosotros/as)
-----

(tú)

For right now, youll only need to worry about
this stuff for the verbs in the box on p. 173.
(But youll see more of this later!)

Más práctica con verbos reflexivos

• bañarse
• me baño
• te bañas
• se baña

• nos bañamos
• -----
• se bañan

• me does NOT equal I (te ? you, se ? he/
  she/it, nos ? we, etc.) (to say those, we say
  yo, tú, Ud./él/ella, nosotros, Uds., ellos/as
• There is a tendency at this point to want to make
  all verbs reflexive. Resist! Most verbs arent
  reflexive.

For right now, youll only need to worry about
reflexives for the verbs in the box on p. 173
dealing with daily routine kinds of things. (But
of course, youll see more of them later!)
