Whenever the subject of the sentence (the doer of the action) and the object of the sentence (the receiver of the action) refer to the same person, we use the reflexive form of the verb. They are always accompanied by a reflexive pronoun.

• I dress myself every morning. (Reflexive)
• I dress my son every morning. (Non-reflexive)

The infinitive form of a reflexive verb is written with the reflexive pronoun "se". For example: afeitarse (to shave oneself), lavarse (to wash oneself), and llamarse (to call oneself).

Example sentences using reflexive verbs:

Él se lava. - He washes himself.
Ellos se lavan las manos.
They wash their hands.
Me llamo Jennifer. - My name is Jennifer.
Se llama Rebecca. - Her name is Rebecca.
Ustedes se quedan en casa.
You all stay home.
Tú te acuestas.
You lay down.
Nosotros nos peinamos.
We comb ourselves.
Yo me lavo los dientes.
I brush my teeth.
Ella se baña con agua fría.
