Reflexive Verbs


This is a very helpful lesson on reflexive verbs. I always had trouble with them so I thought I could use the practice. He walks through the process with you step by step.
First, he explains that reflexive verbs are like a reflection in a mirror that is right back to yourself.
Then, he breaks down the phrase: (Yo) me llamo.
Yo= I, me
Me= myself, me
He uses the example: Hablarse (to talk to oneself)
The common verbs described and explained are:
Despertarse
Levantarse
Lavarse
Cepillarse
Sacarse
Vestirse
Banarse
Acostarse
Dormirse
The stepsare thus in conjugating levantar:
First, ignore se. Change levanter into different forms. Now, worry about se; me, te, se, nos, se.
He lets the viewer conjugate a few and he goes over them accordingly.
He then uses them in sentences to quiz how well you grasped the concept.
Finally, he explains negative form---
Negative= Subject + (No) + Reflexive Pronoun + Verb + Rest of sentence
