Intro to Reflexive VerbsPlease read all explanations and directions before completing the activities. Do everything in order.REFLEXIVE VERBS look the same as other verbs in Spanish, except that after the -ar, -er or -ir ending, is -se. Once you take the -se off, the verb is conjugated exactly the same way as other verbs. When conjugating a reflexive verb, the se, goes in front of the conjugated verb and then has to agree with the subject (person (The -se often translates into English as "one's self".)some reflexive verbs are:levantarse - to get up (literally: to raise one's self)cepillarse - to brush (one's self)afeitarse- to shave (one's self)ponerse - to put something on (one's self)mirarse - to look at one's self Fill in the blanks! "levantarse" is an example of a reflexive verb. I can tell this because it ends with these two letters: se. Matching Drag a line from the Spanish to the English meaning. levantarse to get up afeitarse to shave cepillarse to brush oneself mirarse to look at one's self ponerse to put on levantarse = to get up (literally: to raise one's self)Fill in the blanks below with the correct reflexive pronoun. The reflexive pronouns are:me (myself) nos (ourselves)te (yourself) os (yourselves)se (himself se (themselves (yourself)Base your choice on the verb ending subject (yo, tú, mi hermano, etc.) ex. if the verbs ends with -o, then "me" is the corresponding reflexive pronoun. If the verb ends in -as then "te" is the corresponding reflexive pronoun, etc.Notice the position of the reflexive pronoun(directly in front of the conjugated verb) in each sentence. Normalmente me levanto a las seis y media durante la semana. Pero mi hermano no se levanta hasta las siete. Mis padres se levantan a las seis y media, como yo. Durante el fin de semana mi hermano yo dormimos tarde, por eso no nos levantamos hasta las diez y cuarto. ¿y tú? ¿A qué hora te levantas tú durante la semana? por eso = therefore Now, go back and read the last paragraph and translate it in your head as you go along. Remember that "levantarse" means "to get up" (literally: to raise one's self). So the first sentence means: "Normally I get up (raise myself) at six thirty during the week." When you conjugate a reflexive verb, there are two words: the reflexive pronoun and then the conjugated verb. The reflexive pronoun must "agree" with the conjugated verb.Here are the present tense conjugated verb forms oflevantarse: me levanto nos levantamos te levantas (os levantáis) se levanta se levantanYou must include both words when conjugating a reflexive verb!Notice how the -se at the end of the infinitive levantarse goes to the front of the verb but changes to agree with the subject. Then the remaining part of the verb "levantar" is conjugated just like a regular -ar verb..Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the reflexive verb in the present tense. (That means you need to use the present tense verb endings: -o, -as, -a, -amos, -an) There are two words for each answer: 1) the reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, se) and 2) the conjugated verb. (levantarse)1. Cada día, yo me levanto a las ocho y media.2. Durante el verano, mi hermano mayor se levanta a los once.3. ¿A qué hora te levantas tú los fines de semana?4. Mis padres siempre se levantan temprano (early).5. Mi hermano menor y yo nos levantamos tarde (late). Reflexive Conjugation Match Drag a line from left to right to match the following expressions: me levanto I get up nos miramos we look at ourselves me peino I comb myself te afeitas you shave os cepilláis you (all) brush se ponen they put on se afeita he shaves Below are some reflexive verbs. Conjugate each one in the present tense, keeping in mind each answer will be two words: the reflexive pronoun and the conjugated verb form. It must be spelled exactly correct to get the points, so pay attention to each letter!Remember: the reflexive pronouns are: me, te, se nos,os, seIf the sentence is negative, don't forget to put a 'no' before the pronoun. Ex. yo = me afeito (I shave)(Just like in the above example, remove the last 4 letters of the infinitive first.)Remember: each answer will be 2 words: the reflexive pronoun and the conjugated verb. (If it's negative, it'll be 3 words)1. yo = me cepillo los dientes (I brush my teeth)2. tú cepillarse = no te cepillaslos dientes (you don't brush your teeth)3. nosotros = nos cepillamos los dientes (we brush our teeth)4. yo = me afeito (I shave)5. ellos ducharse = No se duchan (they don't shower)6. ella = se mira (she looks at herself)7. yo me peino (I comb myself)8. yo = me pongo (I put on) (Notice that this is an -er verb)9. vosotros bañar = No os bañáis (You all don't bathe)10. nosotros nos dormimos (We fall asleep) How do reflexive verbs look different from other verbs that we have learned in the past and what do you do differently when conjugating a reflexive verb?
