Describe daily routines with reflexive verbs.
Reflexive verbs describe actions done to oneself.
The reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos) matches the subject.

|---|---|---|
| Levantarse | To get up | Me levanto a las siete. |
| Ducharse | To shower | Me ducho por la mañana. |
| Vestirse | To get dressed | Me visto rápido. |
| Acostarse | To go to bed | Me acuesto tarde. |
| Desayunar | To have breakfast | Desayuno café y tostadas. |
| Despertarse | To wake up | Me despierto temprano. |
| Word | Phonetic | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Me levanto | meh leh-BAN-toh | Reflexive pronoun "me" before the verb |
| Me ducho | meh DOO-choh | The "ch" as in English "church" |
| Me acuesto | meh ah-KWES-toh | Stem change o→ue |
Reflexive placement: Pronoun goes before a conjugated verb (me levanto) but can attach to infinitives (voy a levantarme).
