Los Verbos Reflexivos
Avancemos 2 – Unidad 2 Lección 2
What is a Reflexive Verb?
• A reflexive verb is a verb that uses a reflexive pronoun.
• The reflexive pronoun shows that the subject receives the action of the verb while at the same time completing the action of the verb.
• In other words, many reflexive verbs are actions that a person does to or for themselves.
To say that people do something to or for themselves you use reflexive verbs.
For examplewashing one’s handslavarse las manos
and brushing one’s teethcepillarse los dientes
are reflexive actions because the person doing the action ALSO receives the action.
How do you know a verb is reflexive?It ends in “se” in the infinitive form.
ducharse cepillarse afeitarse
How is a Reflexive verb conjugated?
• In the infinitive form of reflexive verbs, the reflexive pronoun attaches to the end of the verb.
• Examples: bañarse – to bathe oneself lavarse – to wash oneself cepillarse los dientes – to brush one’s teeth
Subject Reflexive Pronoun Translation
All reflexive verbs are used with a reflexive pronoun. Each reflexive pronoun matches up with the subject pronoun that it “reflects”
yo
él/ella/usted
metú
myself
nosotros
ellos/ellas ustedes
tesenos
se
yourselfhimself/herself/itself/yourself
ourselvesthemselves, yourselves, each other
When you conjugate reflexive verbs, you should conjugate the verb normally and place the pronoun BEFORE the conjugated verb.
me
te
se
nos
os
se
Here are the reflexive pronouns:
***You still conjugate the verb as you would normally do, now you just add a reflexive pronoun before it.Bañarse – to take a bath/to bathe oneself.
Yo me baño
Tú te bañas
Él/ella/usted se baña
Nosotros nos bañamos
Ellos/ellas/ustedes se bañan
Many reflexive verbs are translated into English with the word “get” like
vestirse to get dressed orarreglarse to get ready (presentable)
REFLEXIVE vs NON-REFLEXIVESome verbs can be reflexive AND non reflexive. However, they can have small but important changes in meaning when they become reflexive. NOT REFLEXIVE Meaning REFLEXIVE Meaningdormir to sleep dormirse to fall asleep
quitar to take away quitarse to take off
acostar to put to bed acostarse to go to bed
levantar to raise, lift levantarse to get up
llamar to call llamarse to be called
poner to put ponerse to put on
quedar to be left over quedarse to remain, to stay
Here we are seeing the difference between a reflexive verb and a non reflexive verb.
Ana Juan
Claudia
NON REFLEXIVE REFLEXIVE
Claudia is getting her hair cut BY Ana. She is NOT doing the action TO HERSELF so the non reflexive verb “cortar” is used.
Ana Juan
Claudia
NON REFLEXIVE REFLEXIVE
Ana corta el pelo.
Juan is cutting HIS OWN hair. He is doing the action TO HIMSELF so the reflexive verb “cortarse” is used.
Ana Juan
Claudia
NON REFLEXIVE REFLEXIVE
Ana corta el pelo. Juan se corta el pelo.
Julia
Choose which is reflexive?
A B
AnaAna
Letter “A” is reflexive because Ana is combing her own hair.
Ana se peina el pelo.In letter”B”
Julia is combing Ana’s hair.Julia peina el pelo de Ana.
A B
Laura
Juana
Lina
Choose which is reflexive?
Letter “B” is reflexive because Lina is painting her own nails.
Lina se pinta las uñas.In letter ”A”
Juana is painting Laura’s nails.Juana pinta las uñas de Laura.
A B
Paco Paco
Choose which is reflexive?
Letter “B” is reflexive because Paco is washing his (own) hands.
Paco se lava las manos.In letter ”A”
Paco is washing dishes. He is not doing the action to himself.
Paco lava los platos .
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?
In the present tense and other simple (single word) tenses it goes in front of the conjugated verb.
Yo me peino.
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?
When a reflexive verb follows a conjugated verb (I want to shower) (I am going to shower), use the correct reflexive pronoun with the infinitive.
You can ATTACH the pronoun to the infinitive:Ex: A que hora quieres despertarte? (What time do you want to wake up?)
You can also place the reflexive pronoun BEFORE the conjugated verb. Ex: Me quiero despertar a las siete. (I want to wake up at seven.)
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?
With infinitives it can go in front of the conjugated verb,
Yo voy a vestir. Yo voy a vestir
meme.
or attached to the end of the infinitive.
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?It is the same with present participles (“ing” verbs ending in ando, iendo or endo ).
Yo estoy duchando. Estoy duchando
me me.
It can go in front of the conjugated verb, or attached to the end of the present participle.
*A NOTE TO REMEMBER
*Since the reflexive pronoun tells what a person is doing to himself, it is not necessary to use a possessive pronoun (my, yours, his, her, etc.) when referring to body parts.Yo me lavo LAS manos NOT Yo me lavo MIS manos
Since the ME in this sentence says that I am washing myself…it is already clear that I am washing MY hands.
Many reflexive verbs are used to talk about your morning grooming routine as you get ready for the day
and at night when you are getting ready for bed.
