Question

Place the following steps for conjugating a reflexive verb in the present tense in order.

Answer 1

To conjugate a reflexive verb in the present tense, follow these steps:

1. **Identify the reflexive verb**: Recognize the reflexive verb you want to conjugate.

2. **Separate the reflexive pronoun**: Identify the appropriate reflexive pronoun that corresponds to the subject (me, te, se, nos, os, se).

3. **Conjugate the main verb**: Conjugate the verb in the present tense according to the subject pronoun you are using.

4. **Place the reflexive pronoun**: Position the reflexive pronoun before the conjugated verb or attach it to the end of the infinitive (if using a structured sentence).

Here's an example using the verb "lavarse" (to wash oneself):

1. Identify the reflexive verb: **lavarse**
2. Separate the reflexive pronoun: **me (for 'yo')**
3. Conjugate the main verb: **lavo** (for 'yo')
4. Place the reflexive pronoun: **me lavo (I wash myself)**

This process can be used with any reflexive verb in the present tense.
