Mi abuela-- imperfect tense practice ONLINE INTERACTIVE PRACTICE ACTIVITIES Verbos reflexivos In this lesson we will learn to conjugate and use reflexive verbs in the present tense in Spanish. In reflexive constructions, the person or thing that does the action also receives the action.
Uses Reflexive Actions and Emotions:
(Yo) Nunca me despierto tarde.
aburrirse to become bored enamorarse, to fall in love (Yo) Me alegro cuando no hay tarea. Mis amigos no se aburrren en la clase de arte. These verbs can be used as 1) reflexive verbs or 2) non-reflexive verbs if the action is being done to someone other than the subject. EX: La madre baña al niño. The mother baths the child. (bañar= normal verb, the child receives the action) La madre se baña. The mother baths herself. (bañarse= reflexive verb, she receives the action) Formation Step 3- Write the reflexive pronoun before the conjugated verb. (Tú) te bañas Note: You must always use reflexive pronouns with reflexive verbs. Reflexive pronouns: Me (myself) Nos (ourselves) Te (yourself) Os (yourselves) Se (yourself) Se (yourselves) Here is an example of conjugating a reflexive verb in the present tense: Pronoun Placement
There are two places where reflexive pronouns can be placed, as seen in the example below.
In Spanish, when reflexive verbs are used with parts of the body, they take the definite article (el, la, los, las) rather than possessive adjectives. EX: Ana se cepilla los dientes después de comer. (NOT Ana se cepilla sus dientes.) Ana brushes her teeth after she eats. OJO! Remember that reflexive pronouns are needed In FRONT of the conjugated verb. Remember stem-changers in the present tense will have a stem-change in all forms except for nosotros and vosotros.
