The key differences between reflexive verbs and non-reflexive verbs include the following:

  1. Reflexive verbs include a reflexive pronoun which must agree with the subject.

    • This is true. Reflexive verbs always include a reflexive pronoun (like "me," "te," "se," etc.) that agrees with the subject of the sentence.
  2. Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject (the "do-er" of the action) is also the "receiver" of the action.

    • This is also true. Reflexive verbs denote actions that the subject performs on itself.

The statement about reflexive pronouns always coming after the conjugated verb is generally incorrect in Spanish; reflexive pronouns can come before or after the verb depending on the sentence structure (e.g., "me baño" or "bano me").

The statement about reflexive verbs always having a stem-change in certain forms is not accurate; not all reflexive verbs have stem changes.

Therefore, the correct responses 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.
