Reflexive verbs are used to talk about
people doing something to themselves.


Vestirse (ei): Yo me visto.
             I dress myself.

 Cepillarse: Ella se cepilla el pelo.

             She brushes her hair.
There are a few things that
  make reflexive verbs “special”.

1.All reflexive verbs end with –SE.
2.-SE is the reflexive pronoun.
3.The reflexive pronoun shows
  who the action is being done to.
Here are the 6 reflexive pronouns:
   (yo)              ME (nosotros) NOS


   (tú)              TE (vosotros)       OS


   (ud., él, ella)       (uds., ellos,
                     SE ellas)           SE
To conjugate a reflexive verb,
use these 3 SIMPLE STEPS:
          STEP 1:
1. Take off the –SE and put
  it in front of the verb.
    bañarse Se bañar
STEP 2:

2. Change the SE to
  match the subject
   (Yo) Se bañar

       Me bañar
STEP 3:

3. Conjugate the verb to
  match the subject
    (Yo) Me bañar

        (yo) Me baño
Reflexive verbs can be
NON-reflexive if the action is
being done to something else.

 Yo me afeito la cara.
          I shave my face.

 Yo afeito el perro.
         I shave the dog.
Reflexive pronouns with infinitives
 Reflexive pronouns are placed before
  conjugated verbs OR after and attached
  to the end of the infinitive.
 The reflexive pronoun must still match
  the subject of the sentence.

 Ex. Yo me lavo las manos.
       Yo voy a lavarme las manos.
