Reflexive constructions

  • Consists of a reflexive pronoun and a verb.

  • In English, reflexive pronouns end in -self or -selves. For example: myself, yourself, ourselves.

  • In Spanish, reflexive pronouns are used with some verbs (called reflexive verbs) that reflect the action back to the subject of a sentence, meaning that the subject of the verb can also receive the action of the verb.

  • Example: Juan Carlos se levanta a las ocho.

En español

Reflexive verbs are identified by the pronoun -se attached to the end of the infinitive form of the verb.

To conjugate these verbs, use a reflexive pronoun (e.g. me) with its corresponding verb form (e.g., levanto), according to the subject of the sentence (e.g., yo)

4

Example with levantarse

Take notes of the subject and pronouns, these won't change. E.g. Always use me for yo, te for , and so on.


*Vosotros is a pronoun mostly used in Spain, the other 20 Hispanic countries don't use it. They use ustedes, instead.
