In this module, we’ll expand on your knowledge by introducing reflexive verbs, object pronouns, and important phrasal structures that will make your Spanish more natural and versatile. These concepts will help you talk about actions you do to yourself, as well as create more complex sentences.
Reflexive verbs describe actions where the subject and object are the same, meaning the action is done to oneself.
Example:
The reflexive pronoun must match the subject of the sentence.
These pronouns replace the object that directly receives the action of the verb.
Example:
These pronouns replace the noun that receives the benefit or action of the verb.
Example:
In sentences with both a direct and indirect object, the indirect object pronoun comes first.
Unlike English, where the subject likes something, in Spanish the thing liked is the subject and the person who likes it is the indirect object.
