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.
