Exercise 1
Step 1

First of all, let´s read the instructions carefully, understand them, and remember the information we need to do the activity.

Step 2

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
4 of 8
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
5 of 8
In this case, the direct object pronoun is a **reflexive pronoun**.
Reflexive Pronouns |Spanish |English |
|–|–|–
|1st person singular . **Yo**. |Me |Myself
|2nd person singular. **Tú**. |Te |Yourself | | | |
|3rd person singular. **Él / Ella / Eso / Ud.**. |Se |Himself / Herself / Itself | | | |
|1st person plural. **Nosotros**. |Nos |Ourselves | | |
|2nd person plural. **Ustedes**.|Se |Yourselves | | |
| 3rd person, plural. **Ellos / Ellas / Uds.**.|Se |Themselves | | |
Step 6
6 of 8
Reflexive pronouns can either go before the conjugated verbs or at the end a participle or infinitive.

**Example**:

|Bañar |Dormir |Lavar | Peinar|
|–|–|–|–|
|Ud. **se** baña| Tú **te** duermes |Ellos **se** lavan |Él **se** peina|
|Báña**se** |Peína**te** |Láven**se** |Peíne**se** |
**When it is attached to the present participle, we have to add an accent mark**.

Step 7
7 of 8
Verbs can be treated as reflexive when they talk about reciprocal actions, meaning that people do things for each other (both parties are doing the same thing to or for each other).

They will be conjugated with reflexive pronouns in the **Ellos / Ellas / Uds. and Nosotros** forms.

Step 8
8 of 8

Los novios **se besan**.

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
|1.- Miguel y yo __ ____ mejor que cualquier persona. |Miguel and I __ ____ better than anyone.
The subject is **Nosotros**, so the correct pronoun is **nos**
The answer is:
|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
|1.- Miguel y yo **nos llevamos** mejor que cualquier persona. |Miguel and I get along better than anyone.
