Here is the correct order for conjugating a reflexive verb in the present tense:
- Identify the subject.
- Drop the -se from the end of the verb.
- Change the -se to the appropriate reflexive pronoun to agree with the subject and place it directly in front of the verb.
- Drop the -ar/-er/-ir from the end of the verb.
- Choose the appropriate ending to agree with the subject and attach it to the end of the verb.
This sequence ensures that the reflexive pronoun and verb endings are correctly paired with the subject of the sentence.
