Step 3
3 of 8
Before doing the activity let´s remember the basics of reflexive verbs.

A reflexive verb is a transitive one whose direct object is the same as its subject, the action is done and received by the same person.

They are often used to talk about actions that you do to yourself in your daily routine, as shaving, taking a shower, etc.

Step 4

To know if a verb is reflexive, we must identify the object of the verb, if this is the same person who performs the action, the verb is reflexive.

To use a reflexive verb in Spanish, you need to know which reflexive pronoun to use.
.

Step 5
