Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive Pronouns ¢ Main Entry: reflexive pronoun Function: noun : a pronoun referring to the subject of the sentence, clause, or verbal phrase in which it stands; specifically : a personal pronoun compounded with –self ¢ In other words, a verb is reflexive when the subject and the object are the same.

Pronombres Reflexivos ¢ In Spanish, reflexive verbs have –se at the end of the verb (i. e. lavarse) or are accompanied by a reflexive pronoun (i. e. me, te, se, etc). Reflexive Pronouns me (myself) nos (ourselves) te (yourself) os (yourselves) se (himself, herself, yourself) se (themselves, yourselves)
Placement of Reflexive Pronoun ¢ Where do we place the reflexive pronoun? BCV – before the conjugated verb. Example – Me lavo el pelo. ** At times you may see it at the end of an infinitive (ex. tiene que lavarse); however, for right now, we will place it in front of the conjugated verb (se tiene que lavar). ** If it is attached, the reflexive pronoun must agree with the subject. For example: Yo tengo que afeitarme. OR Tú necesitas jabón para lavarte.
