A reflexive verb in Spanish consists of two parts:
LAVARSE = to wash oneself 1) the main verb: lavar 2) the reflexive pronoun: se
The reflexive pronoun refers to the subject of the sentence
yo = me nosotros = nos tú = te x él/ella/Ud. = se ellos/ellas/Uds. = se
Reflexive verbs are conjugated like the regular non-reflexive verbs except for the reflexive pronoun part.
For example: lavarse = to wash oneself me lavo nos lavamos te lavas x se lava se lavanThe reflexive pronouns go in front of the
conjugated verb.The reflexive pronouns are attached to the
infinitive of the second verb when we have two verbs in
