  1. Los Verbos Reflexivos In this presentation, we are going to look at a special group of verbs called reflexives

  2. Reflexive Verbs • A verb is reflexive when the subject and the object are the same. • I wash myself.subject: Iverb: washobject: myself • OR… think of it like when someone does something to or for themselves (I wash MYSELF)

  3. Reflexive Verbs • I wash the car.subject: Iverb: washobject: carSince the subject and object are different, the verb is not reflexive. • Here, we are washing the CAR not doing something to ourselves… so it is not reflexive.

  4. Reflexive Verbs • Here's another example of how a verb can be either reflexive or non-reflexive. • I scratch myself.subject: Iverb: scratchobject: myself • Since the subject and object are the same, the verb is reflexive.

  5. Reflexive Verbs • But now look at this example… • I scratch the dog.subject: Iverb: scratchobject: dog • Since the subject and object are different, the verb is not reflexive.

  6. Verbos…Verbos • When a verb is reflexive, the infinitive ends in "se." • lavarto wash (non-reflexive) • lavarseto wash oneself (reflexive) • rascarto scratch (non-reflexive) • rascarseto scratch oneself (reflexive)

  7. Reflexive Verbs • There is one reflexive verb you have been using since you began studying Spanish. • llamarse - to call oneself • ¿Cómo se llama usted?What do you call yourself? • Me llamo Juan.I call myself Juan. • Note: A more "natural" translation would be "What is your name?" and "My name is Juan."

  8. Reflexive Verbs • When you learned to conjugate regular verbs, you needed to learn a set of pronouns called "subject pronouns." • Lavar = to washyo lavotú lavasél, ella, usted lavanosotros/as lavamosellos, ellas, ustedes lavan

  9. Don’t copy.. Just read… • To learn to conjugate reflexive verbs, you need to learn a different set of pronouns called "reflexive pronouns." These pronouns are positioned before the verb, while the ending "se" is dropped and the verb is conjugated normally.

  10. Now… examples • lavarse • yo me lavoI wash (myself) • tú te lavasyou wash (yourself) (informal) • él se lava / ella se lava he washes (himself)/ she washes herself

  11. Y más… • usted se lavayou wash (yourself) (formal) • nosotros nos lavamoswe wash (ourselves) • ustedes se lavanyou-all wash (yourselves)(formal) • ellos se lavanthey wash (themselves)

  12. So how do we form them? • The reflexive pronouns are not subject pronouns; rather they are object pronouns. • me (myself)te (yourself)se (himself, herself, yourself)nos (ourselves)se (themselves, yourselves)

  13. Reflexive Verbs • The purpose of the reflexive object pronouns is to show that the action of the verb remains with the subject. • Juan se lava la cara.Juan washes his face. (reflexive) • Juan lava su carro. (non-reflexive)Juan washes his car. • Note: When referring to body parts, use the definite article, thus "la cara" not "su cara."
