También se cuartea la pintura a veces, por el calor, el frío o si es de mala calidad.

En inverno siempre tengo las manos cortadas: se ve la piel toda cuarteada.

No, it isn't. It's a pronominal verb. Don't worry, you'll learn about them

Sorry, it isn't correct

Reflexivos: a mí mismo/a, a ti mismo/a, etc.

Yo me peino (a mí mismo). Tú te lavas (a ti mismo). El se viste (a sí mismo), etc.

Pronominales: es obligatorio conjugarlos con la forma átona del pronombre. Por ejemplo:

Yo me lavo el pelo. ¿Reflexivo? NO: pronominal. ¿Por qué? Porque el OD no es "me", como en las oraciones anteriores, sino "el pelo".

Algunos verbos son siempre pronominales, otros en ocasiones. Por ejemplo:

Quejarse: siempre es pronominal, no se puede conjugar sin el pronombre:

Yo me quejo, él se quejó, etc.

* Yo quejo

Ir(se): pronominal o no:

Yo me voy a clase.
Yo voy a ser arquitecta.

The best way for learning them is practice, I think

I guess you were talking about "recíprocos":

Nosotros nos miramos. Vosotros os escribís, etc.

¿Es verdad que unos verbos puede ser reflexivo y pronominales?

-Me lavo. I wash (myself). Reflexive
-
Me lavo el coche. I washed the car. Pronominal Do you even need the "me", or would it just be "Lavo el coche"?
