What is a Reflexive Verb – A1

Reflexive verbs are those where the subject and the object are the same.

The following example is not a reflexive: I have a house  because “I” – is the subject  and        “a house” – is the direct object. Since they are different “have” is not a reflexive action.

However, if we say: “I wash myself” both “I” and “myself” refer to the same person and therefore we have a reflexive action.

In Spanish that would be translated as: “Yo me lavo“

LAVARSE

YO ME LAVO

TÚ TE LAVAS

ÉL SE LAVA

NOSOTROS NOS LAVAMOS

VOSOTROS OS LAVÁIS

ELLOS SE LAVAN
