In this lesson, we will explore reflexive verbs and indirect object pronouns in Spanish. Reflexive verbs indicate actions performed by a person on themselves, using pronouns such as me, te, se, nos, and se. Indirect object pronouns (me, te, le, nos, les) are used to indicate to whom or for whom an action is done, and can be placed before conjugated verbs or attached to infinitives. Gain confidence in using these structures through examples and exercises. Mastering these essential concepts will enhance your Spanish communication skills.
