Reflexive Verbs-

*end in - (se) example- lavarse

*when it ends in (se)- it indicates that the action of the verb is reflected back to the subject

*(se)- is a reflexive pronoun

*lavarse- means to wash oneself

*lavar- means to wash

Here is how to conjugate for the reflexive-

lavarse- to wash oneself

yo- me lavo nosotros- nos lavamos

tú- te lavas

singular- se lava plural- se lavan

Notice on last slide-

MUST have -

me nos

se se

*So if the VERB ends in a SE anytime you MUST conjugate and do something with it BUT if it DOESN'T end in SE conjugate like normal.

Here are two more reflexive verbs- conjugate these two-

1. levantarse

2. acostarse-

levantarse- to get up/ to get oneself up
