  2. What are reflexive verbs? • We use reflexive verbs to talk about actions we do to and for ourselves. • For example: • Brushing one’s teeth • Washing one’s hair • Getting dressed • Brushingone’shair

  3. Would it still be reflexive if…? • You were brushing your dog’s teeth? • You were washing the dishes? • You were dressing your Barbie? • Answer: NO!

  4. Which piece of the verb is reflexive? • Reflexive verbs have 2 pieces: • The first is the infinitive part of the verb which, when we conjugate it, tells us who is doing the action. • The second is the reflexive pronoun which tells us who is receiving the action of the verb. • Take a look: • Lavarse The “se” on the end is the reflexive pronoun. In addition to conjugating the verb, we have to change the pronoun.

  5. For example: • Let’s continue to work with lavarse • If I want to say that I wash my face, I would say: • Me lavo la cara. • Would this be reflexive? Yes! If I want to say that I wash the car, I would say: Lavo el coche. Would this be reflexive? NO!

  6. So, what are the reflexive pronouns? • They are:

  7. To conjugate a reflexive verb • Take two steps forward and then two steps back • Step 1 –decide the subject • Step 2 – conjugate the verb for that subject • Step 3 (back step)- choose the appropriate reflexive pronoun • Step 4 (back step)-place the reflexive pronoun

  8. Let’s try one… • Translate this: Pepitawashes herselfevery morning. • Remember the steps? • Step 1 –decide the subject • Pepita • Step 2 – conjugate the verb for that subject • lava • Step 3 (back step)- choose the appropriate reflexive pronoun • se • Step 4 (back step)-place the reflexive pronoun • Pepitaselava cadamañana

  9. A practicar… • Mi hermano ______________ los zapatos. (ponerse) • Tú __________ un suétercuandohacefrío. (ponerse) • ¿A quéhoraUds.______________? (despertarse) • Bea _____________ muytardecadanoche. (dormirse) • Vosotros _________ muytarde en España. (acostarse)

  10. A practicar…respuestas • Mi hermanose ponelos zapatos. (ponerse) • Túte ponesun suétercuandohacefrío. (ponerse) • ¿A quéhoraUds. se despiertan? (despertarse) • Bea se duermemuytardecadanoche. (dormirse) • Vosotrososacostáismuytarde en España. (acostarse)

  11. Articles vs. Possessive Adjectives • In Spanish, when you refer to parts of the body and articles of clothing in a reflexive sentence, you often use the definite article (the), not the possessive adjective (my, his, her, etc.) • Me lavo la cara. • Ella se cepillalosdientes. • Él se pone elsuéter.

  12. Making a sentence negative • To make a sentence negative, you place the word no before the reflexive pronoun. • Example: Yono me levantotemprano los sábados.

  13. In a sentence with a verb in front of the reflexive verb: • You attach the reflexive pronoun to the end of the infinitive, still changing the pronoun to match the subject– Yovoy alavarmeahora.

  14. A practicar… • Make sentences using the following elements in two-verb construction. • Yo/querer/cepillarse el pelo. • Los estudiantes/no/querer/levantarse

  15. A practicar…respuestas • Yoquierocepillarme el pelo. • Los estudiantes no quierenlevantarse.
