Verbs are used reflexively when you are performing the action for someone else.

Reflexive pronouns and direct/indirect object pronouns are ALL the same

If there's no subject written, you can tell what the pronoun will be from the conjugated verb ending.

____ dormimos temprano

___ bañaste ayer

___ puse mis piyamas

Él ___ cepilla los dientes

When you have 2 verbs together in the same clause of a sentence, you conjugate them both.

When the second verb is reflexive, you can still put the pronoun before the conjugated verb, but it's more common to attach it to the infinitive

In the following fill in the blank questions you are going to ___ the pronouns to the infinitive.

When you have a preposition in the sentence like para, en vez de, después de or antes de, you leave the next verb in the infinitive form.

If the second verb is reflexive, you have no choice - you have to attach the pronoun because you don't have a conjugated verb.

There are some verbs that are reflexive but don't seem like they should be. This is because they describe internal processes.

I was worried about my grade.

Don't worry!

Basement verbs are a class of verbs in the preterite where the bottom 2 forms don't fit the pattern.

IR stem changing verbs only have 2 changes in the preterite - e-ie and o-ue.

Ayer los niños no ___ hasta las once

Mi hermano ____ en su uniforme para su trabajo

Ayer la profesora no ___ bien.

Although MOST verbs don't stem change in the preterite, there are some verbs that do have stem changes (hacer, tener, etc.)

Although these verbs have a variety of stems, the endings are all ER preterite endings.

Ella ___ su exámen ayer

Generalmente tú estás en clase pero ayer no ___ allí

La semana pasada mi hermano ___ un goal para su equipo de fútbol

Anoche ellos se ___ sus pijamas temprano.
