Reflexive pronouns also have other uses, such as passive voice and reciprocal action. A. Passive voice. When there is no definite subject, i.e. no specific person performing the action, the passive voice is used. One way to use the passive voice in Spanish is with the pronoun “se” and a verb in the third person. The sentence pattern is: Se + verb in third person singular + singular direct object. Se + verb in third person plural + plural direct object. Here are two examples: Se habla inglés en Australia. English is spoken in Australia. Se venden libros en una librería. Books are sold in a bookstore. B. Reciprocal action. In the plural (nosotros, vosotros, ellos/Uds.) reflexive pronouns (nos, os, se) can be used to mean “each other.” Here are some examples: Juana y yo nos telefoneamos a menudo. Juana and I phone each other often. Enrique y Daniela se ven rara vez. Enrique and Daniela rarely see each other. Traduce las frases a español. 1. Shoes are sold in a shoe store. ________________________________________ 2. They open the store at seven. ________________________________________ 3.

My parents never fight (w/ each other). _________________________________ 10. Ana and Paco don’t get along (w/each other). _____________________________ Etapa Preliminar—HW#9 Nombre: _________________________ VERBS WITH ACCENTS IN THE PRESENT INDICATIVE TENSE Some verbs require an accent to break up the dipthong in order to place the stress on the proper syllable. A dipthong is a weak vowel (i/y, u) and a strong vowel (a, e, o) or two weak vowels coming together to form one syllable. When it is necessary to break up a dipthong, the accent is placed on the weak vowel. esquiar = to ski enviar = to send continuar = to continue graduarse = to graduate esquiar yo esquío nosotros esquiamos tú esquías vosotros esquiáis él, ella, Ud. esquía ellos, ellas, Uds. esquían continuar yo continúo nosotros continuamos tú continúas vosotros continuáis él, ella, Ud. continúa ellos, ellas, Uds. continúan *Verbs such as estudiar and limpiar do not require accents because the stress is not placed on the “i” (ex: e-stu-dio, lim-pia-mos) Traduce las frases a español. 1. I send a postcard ________________________________________________ 2. Pepe and I ski each winter. ________________________________________ 3. The students graduate soon. _______________________________________ 4. Felipe continues talking. ___________________________________________ 5.
