Let's go through the steps to conjugate the verb "llamarse" in the first person:

Step 1: REMOVE the Reflexive Ending: -se

  • From "llamarse", we remove "se" to get "llamar".

Step 2: REMOVE the Infinitive Ending:

  • From "llamar", we remove the infinitive ending "-ar" to get the root "llam".

Step 3: ADD 1st person Ending:

  • The first person singular ending for regular -ar verbs in the present tense is "-o". Therefore, we add "o" to "llam" to get "llamo".

Step 4: ADD the appropriate reflexive pronoun at the beginning:

  • The reflexive pronoun for the first person singular is "me". So, we place "me" at the beginning: "me llamo".

Step 5: SENTENCE:

  • "Me llamo [Your Name]." (For example: "Me llamo Juan.")

This means "My name is Juan." in English.
