for example if you are saying ‘i go to bed’ it would be yo me ducho or yo me peino

if its past tense instead of an o for yo do an I with an accent mark, like aburri (accent mark), aburriste, aburrio, aburrimos, aburrieon

however it can also be an e with an accent mark like me duche (accent mark) , duchaste, duchamos, ducho (accent mark) if you say yo me duche it would be preterite, you can also say nos duchamos
