Document Summary
Reflexive pronouns work with a reflexive verb to indicate that a person is performing the action toward or for him- or herself. These types of verbs are not very common in english, but are used frequently in. Many actions related to personal care or daily routines are reflexive, but other verbs can be reflexive as well. Me ducho cada ma ana. (i shower (myself) every morning. ) Te peinas el pelo. (you brush your hair (yourself). ) Se hablaba. (he was talking to himself. ) Me veo en el espejo. (i see myself in the mirror. ) The subject is performing the action on him- or herself, making the object of the verb, the same as the subject. Compare two sentences in which one is reflexive and one is not. I wash the dog. (lavo el perro. ) The dog is the object of wash.
