Reflexive Verbs
When I list reflexive verbs, do I only need to use the reflexive pronoun once or do I need it for every single reflexive verb?
Ex: Entonces fui a lavarme, ducharme, vestirme y peinarme. VS Entonces fui a me lavo, ducho, visto y peino. |
You must do it for every single reflexive verb. Reflexive means "with pronoun":D
Por las mañanas, me ducho, me peino, me afeito y me visto antes de ir al trabajo. You can "hear" the second version, some persons skipped the "me" when they are speaking. "Por las manañas me ducho, peino, afeito y visto antes del ir al trabajo." Saludos :D |
Sosia's examples are good. For you since you're learning Spanish, I would advise you to use the reflexive pronoun with each reflexive verb, since that is the normal rule and the grammatical way of doing it.

By the way, for the reflexive verbs; lavarse and peinarse, do I need to include what part of my body I am washing or combing? Also, for that sentence, do I need to put the reflexive verbs into preterit tense?
Entonces fui a me lavé la cara y las manos, me duché, me vestí y me peiné el peno. |
Quote:
Me lavo la cara. - I'm washing my face. Me lavé la cara. - I washed my face. With lavarse and peinarse, you don't need to specify the affected body part unless you want to. Me levanté por la mañana; me lavé y me peiné y salí a trabajar. I got up in the morning, washed up and combed my hair and went to work. |
hmmm I've never learned reflexive verbs....what are they?

Have a look here to get an idea. There is a long list of Spanish reflexive verbs at the bottom of the page. ¡Diviértete!
