Preparan- They or you all prepare- second and third person plural

Which of the the following sentences are REFLEXIVE? That is the DOER (the preparer of the food) and the receiver (the person receiving the food) are the SAME person.

• Te preparo la comida.

• Le preparo la comida.

• Me preparo la comida.

Answer explanation

ME = For me. Preparo= I prepare. A literal translation is: for me I prepare food. A translation that makes more sense is I prepare food for for myself. Since the person making the food and the person receiving the food are the same person, we call this REFLEXIVE.

Te preparo= For you I prepare

and Le preparo= for him or her I prepare are NOT reflexive because the person preparing the food and the person receiving the food are NOT the same person.

preparamos= we prepare

preparan= they or you all prepare

What does the AMOS ending on the end of the verb prepare indicate?
