Reflexive verbs
Use reflexive verbs to say that someone is doing something for or to themselves.
Action doer=action receiver
To conjugate, move the -se at the end of the verb to in front of the verb and conjugate it based on the subject.
| <<Subject<< | <<Pronoun<< |
|---|---|
| Yo | Me |
| Tú | Te |
| Él, ella, usted | Se |
| Vosotros | Os |
| Nosotros | Nos |
| Ellos, ellas, ustedes | Se |
Then take of the -ar, -ir, -er at the end of the verb and conjugate it with the regular present tense endings. You still do stem changes in yo, tú, el, ellos forms for stem change verbs!
Ex:
| <<Verb<< | <<Reflexive<< | <<English<< |
