LAS LENGUAS INGLESA Y ESPAÑOLA de Delfín Carbonell

The action of the verb boomerangs to the doer: Lavo el coche , but yo "me " lavo . (yo lavo a mí. [?]) Me, te, se - nos, os, se: myself, yourself, himself - ourselves, yourselves, themselves. Yo levanto la mano but yo me levanto (I lift myself). Renata se gusta , she likes herself. Arnaldo se corrige siempre , corrects himself. Peinarse, vestirse, decirse, acostarse, sentarse... The trick is to memorize me, te, se, nos, os, se ... the rest is easy as pie. English often skips the reflexives: Me afeito, I shave. Me visto por la mañana, I dress en the morning.
