The pronoun '
se' is quite versatile and is used all the time.
To learn more, search for a specific usage of '
se':
| reflexive 'se' | (reflexive pronoun) |
| impersonal 'se' | (¿Cómo se dice? o Se habla español.) |
| accidental 'se' | ('no fault' construction) |
| object pronoun 'se' | (change 'le' or 'les' to 'se' when it immediately precedes another object pronoun that starts with 'l') |
| passive 'se' | (pasiva refleja) |
La pasiva refleja shouldn't be confused with the passive voice (
la voz pasiva). The passive voice isn't used in Spanish as much as it is used in English. To form the passive voice, use a conjugated form of '
ser' and a past participle.
