Reflexives (learning reflexive verbs in Spanish)
Most any verb can be reflexive
If the do-er and the done-to are the same
If you wanna say "self" or each other
Then reflexive is the way
You can wash your car or wash yourself
Talk to yourself or someone else
You can shave your dog or shave your head
You can dress the kids or just get dressed
él se lava or él lava el carro
Tú te hablas o tú hablas con otro
Se afeita o afeita al perro
Visto al nino o yo me visto
Some verbs just don't seem reflexive
These verbs you've gotta learn one-by-one
It doesn't seem like the action is reflected
Like saying goodbye or having fun
Enamorarse is to fall in love
Divertirse is to have some fun
Arrepentirse is to change your mind
Despedirse is to say goodbye
To brag is jactarse
To complain is quejarse
To take a risk or dare is atreverse
To look like someone else is parecerse
If the do-er and the done-to are the same
If you wanna say "self" or each other
Then reflexive is the way
You can wash your car or wash yourself
Talk to yourself or someone else
You can shave your dog or shave your head
You can dress the kids or just get dressed
él se lava or él lava el carro
Tú te hablas o tú hablas con otro
Se afeita o afeita al perro
Visto al nino o yo me visto
Some verbs just don't seem reflexive
These verbs you've gotta learn one-by-one
It doesn't seem like the action is reflected
Like saying goodbye or having fun
Enamorarse is to fall in love
Divertirse is to have some fun
Arrepentirse is to change your mind
Despedirse is to say goodbye
To brag is jactarse
To complain is quejarse
To take a risk or dare is atreverse
To look like someone else is parecerse
