Reflexive Verbs: Sentences
Hola!
Below are eleven sentences in which I attempted to use reflexive verbs. I was wondering if anyone would skim them and let me know if they make sense? Thanks! Sabrina y yo somos buenos amigos porqué nos apoyamos mutuamente. La escuela de Notre Dame es único porque los estudiantes se ayudan con sus clases. El sacerdote de mi iglesia y yo nos conocen bien. Mi amiga Alejandra y yo nos contamos secretos frecuentemente. Mis tíos se llevan mal, a despecho de estar casado durante treinta anos. Mi primo y yo nos odiamos porque tuvimos una pelea. Mi madre y su abuela no se pelean frecuentemente. Mis padres siempre se perdonan después de ellos lucha. Cada vez que algo sale mal en la escuela, los estudiantes se quejan de sus maestros. James y María se saludan en el pasillo después de clase. Después trabajar, María y su amiga Isabella siempre se telefonean. |

Altered Sentences
Thank-you for your help so far. Below are the altered sentences. I think I understood most of your corrections, but I'm not certain about the last two.

The easy way is to get rid of the subject pronoun and change the conjugated verb into an infinitive. The infinitive would then act as a noun, and would be the object of the preposition después de. The meaning of the prepositional phrase would be "after fighting." The other way involves leaving the subject pronoun and conjugated verb, but making them part of a secondary clause. The clause would be introduced by adding the conjunction que after the preposition mentioned above. That new clause would have to be cast in the subjunctive mood, however, and I'm not sure you've been introduced to that yet. |
