First off, let's call the verb with a reflexive pronoun a pronominal verb. All reflexive verbs are pronominal verbs, but not all pronominal verbs are reflexive.
A pronominal verb almost always means something different than a verb without the reflexive pronoun.
Pronominal verbs use a reflexive pronoun, but this can be a misnomer because it doesn't always mean that the action is reflected back on the subject.
volver = return
volverse = become
regresar = return
regresarse = return, but usually with the idea of giving something back (only used in Latin America)
When used as an infinitive, the reflexive pronoun is suffixed.
I return to Peru every year.
Vuelvo a Peru cada año.
Me vuelo a Peru cada año. :bad:
Regreso a ........
Me regreso a ........ :bad: (but may be understood)
I have to return home immediately.
Tengo que volver/regresar a (mi) casa enseguida.
Tengo que me volverme/regresarme a mi casa enseguida. :bad:
