Reflexive Verbs
In English, pronouns that indicated that the subject of the sentence does something to himself or herself are called reflexive...
In English reflexive pronouns end in -self (-selves)...
I cut myself shaving.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
We embarassed ourselves.
The small children dressed themselves.
Spanish has reflexive pronouns and often uses them in phrases where English does not. The reflexive pronoun still refers back to the subject of the sentence.
Me levanté a las seis. I got up at six.
Se lava los dientes. He brushes his teeth.
Nos vamos. Let’s go.
The reflexive pronouns in Spanish are somewhat like the indirect object pronouns. Instead of le and les, however, the reflexive pronoun se is used.
Me gusta | (yo) me lavo
te gusta | (tú) te lavas
le gusta | (Ana) se lava
nos gusta | (nosotros) nos lavamos
les gusta | (Ellos) se lavan
Note how the reflexive verb always refers back to the subject:
---- Levantarse temprano.
Yo _______ levanto temprano.
Tú ______ levantas temprano.
Pablo ________ levanta temprano.
Nosotros _________ levantamos temprano.
Ustedes _______ levantan temprano.
