Introducción

Using Reflexive Spanish Verbs

Some Spanish verbs are reflexive, meaning they reflect the action back onto the doer. These reflexive verbs require a reflexive pronoun to indicate that the subject is also the direct object. Whenever you look at yourself, drive yourself to the mall, or worry yourself silly, you’re involved in a reflexive action. In English, these reflexive actions become a little fuzzy because so much is considered to be understood. Spanish, however, delineates reflexive action by requiring the use of a reflexive verb and a reflexive pronoun, such as myself, yourself, or herself.

Construcciones verbos reflexivos

When creating a reflexive verb construction, you need a subject, a reflexive verb, and a reflexive pronoun, but not necessarily in that order. When you conjugate the reflexive verbs in English, you normally place the pronouns on either side of the conjugated verb. In other words, you say, “You bathe yourself.” But in Spanish, the order is, “you yourself bathe.”

The following table shows a reflexive verb given in all of its present tense conjugations.

Reflexive pronoun + bañarse = to bathe (oneself)Yo me bañoTú te bañasÉl/ella se bañanUstedes se bañanNosotros nos bañamosEllos se bañan

excepciones

Many reflexive verbs involve the mention of a body part, and because it’s already clear to whom the body part belongs (because of the reflexive verb), you don’t use a possessive pronoun. Instead of saying, “I brush my hair,” for example, you’d say, “I brush the hair,” because the reflexive pronoun already signals that it’s your hair.

Note: Two verbs that are used reflexively but vary slightly from the general definition of a reflexive verb are irse, which when used reflexively means “to go away,” and the verb comerse, which doesn’t mean “to eat oneself” but rather “to gobble up.”
