Spanish reflexive verbs: How do they work?

Reflexive verbs mean that the action of a verb is retained with the subject (yo. tAo. A(c)l. ella, nosotros. ustedes. ellos. ellas), or that they are affected in some way by it. The action is reflexive, meaning that it is performed on the subject (person).

  • Irse (to go)

  • Dare (to be kind to oneself)
  • Encontrar (to discover oneself)
