GRAMMAR
Reflexive verbs 1
Reflexive verbs are generally used to express actions that
we do to ourselves, e.g. I wash myself, and often include the
word get e.g. I get washed. In Spanish you use a ‘reflexive
pronoun’ in place of myself or get:
In the dictionary, the
letters se on the end
of the infinitive tell
you it is a reflexive
verb.
lavarse - to get
washed
me
te
se
nos
1. Write out the verb as if it were a
normal regular verb.
os
2. Add the correct reflexive pronoun.
se
