# Spanish/Reflexive Verbs

Reflexive verbs indicate that the action of the verb reflects back on the subject. In their infinitive forms, reflexive verbs end in -se.
Examples:
* lavarse- to wash oneself
* vestirse- to dress oneself
Conjugation requires removing the -se ending and conjugating normally. The reflexive pronouns are then placed before the conjugated form of the verb.
Lavarse
    yo - me lavo - I wash myself
    tú - te lavas - you wash yourself
    él/ella/Ud. - se lava - he/she/it washes himself/herself/itself
    nosotros - nos lavamos - we wash ourselves
    vosotros - os laváis - you (plural) wash yourselves
    ellos/ellas/Uds. - se lavan - they wash themselves
Vestirse
    yo - me visto - I dress myself
    tú - te vistes - you dress yourself
    él/ella/Ud. - se viste - he/she/it dresses himself/herself/itself
    nosotros - nos vestimos - we dress ourselves
    vosotros - os vestís - you (plural) dress yourselves
    ellos/ellas/Uds. - se visten - they dress themselves
Reflexive verbs often have to do with personal hygiene, grooming, and dressing:
* peinarse- to brush one's hair
* maquillarse- to make-up oneself
* cepillarse (los dientes)- to brush one's teeth
* bañarse- to bathe oneself
Remember that the reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, etc.) must be included with the verb, even if the subject pronoun (yo, tú, él, etc.) is not.
