Verbos Reciprocos
Actions we do to each other!
Reciprocal Actions
• Get conjugated like reflexive verbs.
• Only happen in Nosotros, Vosotros and Ellos
forms. (Because you need 2 to reciprocate)
• USE: NOS OS SE as reciprocal pronouns.
Some examples:
El año pasado, mis tíos se casaron.
(Last year, my aunt and uncle got married)
Cuando los invitados llegaron a la boda, se
saludaron.
(When the guests arrived, they greeted each
other.
Rules of pronoun placement
• Same old, same old:
1 verb, pronoun goes in front of the verb.
• Two verbs, pronoun goes before the 1st verb
or on the end of the 2nd verb.
• Present progressives (-ANDO, -IENDO) same
rules as verb pairs.
