REFLEXIVE VERBS

A reflective verb is simply a verb where the action is done to yourself and not to someone else / something else.  A reflexive verb will be shown as having the letters SE on the end e.g. LAVARSE –TO WASH ONESELF.  In order to conjugate the verb we must take off the SE and decide who is doing the action.  This pronoun is then placed in front of the verb.  

 

Yo lavo los platos – I wash the plates

Me lavo – I wash myself

Yo lavo el coche – I wash the car

Me lavo el pelo – I wash my
