In this exercise, you should finish the sentences with what Marcos needs to do for each situation.

**Hint:** You should use reflexive verbs and appropriate pronouns.

1. Marcos will be late. He has to _________.

He has to **hurry up.**
*(Tiene que **apurarse**.)*

*Marcos* is third-person singular, that is why we added ***-se*** at the verb *apurar (to hurry up).*

2. Marcos is dirty. He has to _________.

He has to **shower/bathe.**
*(Tiene que **ducharse/bañarse**.)*

*Marcos* is third-person singular, that is why we added ***-se*** at the verbs *duchar/bañar (to shower/bathe).*

3. Marcos has just washed his hair. He needs to ___________.

He needs to **dry it.**
*(Necesita **secarlo**.)*

*El pelo* here functions as a **direct object** so we will use the appropriate pronoun in third-person singular, which is ***-lo*** and add it to the verb *secar (to dry)*.

4. Marcos has 11 years. He does not have to _______.

He does not have to shave.
*(No tiene que **afeitarse**.)*

*Marcos* is third-person singular, that is why we added the pronoun ***-se*** at the verb *afeitar (to shave).*

See the explanation.

1. apurarse
2. bañarse
3. secarlo
4. afeitarse
