The differences between reflexive verbs and non-reflexive verbs are as follows:

  1. Reflexive verbs include a reflexive pronoun which must agree with the subject. - This statement is true. Reflexive verbs require a reflexive pronoun that matches the subject in person and number.

  2. Reflexive pronouns always come after the conjugated verb. - This statement is not universally true. Reflexive pronouns can appear before the conjugated verb (as in when it's used in a simple sentence), or they can come attached to the infinitive or the gerund.

  3. Reflexive verbs always have a stem-change that occurs in the yo, tú, él/ella/usted, and ellos/ellas/ustedes forms. - This statement is not true. Not all reflexive verbs undergo stem changes; it depends on the specific verb.

  4. Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject (the "do-er" of the action) is also the "receiver" of the action. - This statement is true. Reflexive verbs express actions that the subject performs on themselves.

Based on the above analysis, the correct responses that apply are:

  • Reflexive verbs include a reflexive pronoun which must agree with the subject.
  • Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject (the "do-er" of the action) is also the "receiver" of the action.
