Grammar: Reflexive Verbs

● A reflexive verb is: un verbo en que la persona que hace la acción es la misma persona 
que recibe la acción. 
 
● We use REFLEXIVE VERBS when the subject in a sentence is the same as the object 
(or when the person DOING the action is the same as the person RECEIVING the 
action). 
 
● Many verbs can be used with or without reflexive pronouns, such as: 
○ lavar (to wash) & lavarse (to wash oneself) 
○ dormir (to sleep) & dormirse (to fall asleep) 
○ poner (to put / place) & ponerse (to put on (clothes))

● In a sentence or thought with only ONE verb, the reflexive pronoun is placed BEFORE
the verb (just like a D.O.P. would be)! 
 
● In a sentence or thought with an infinitive verb following a conjugated verb, the 
reflexive pronoun can be placed BEFORE the first conjugated verb, or attached into 
the END of the verb in the infinitive: 
○ I want to brush my teeth: 
■ Yo quiero cepillarme los dientes. 
■ Yo me quiero cepillar los dientes.

Grammar: Present Progressive (El Presente del Progresivo)

● In both ENGLISH and SPANISH, we use the present progressive tense to say that an 

action is happening at this moment. 

● To form the present progressive in Spanish, we use the correct present tense form of the 

verb estar + a present participle.

● To form the PRESENT PARTICIPLE of an -AR verb, we drop the -AR from the infinitive 

and add +ando. 

● To form the PRESENT PARTICIPLE of an -ER or -IR verb, we drop the -ER or -IR from 

the infinitive and add +iendo. 

Pronoun + ESTAR Present Participle Inglés

    I am running 
Yo estoy corriendo  

    She is sharing 
Ella está compartiendo  

    Y’all are selling 

Uds. están vendiendo

● When using a DOP and an IOP together in the same thought, this is called a

with the letter “L” (3rd person… LE or LES + LO, LA, LOS or LAS), the LE or LES 

turns into SE.
