La rutina diaria (part 1)

I can:• Talk and write about my daily routine

• Understand when I read or hear about daily routines

RepasoO We already have a list with some

verbs to talk about things we do throughout our day

O It is important to remember thesubject pronouns & verb conjugations for those verbs.

O Some of the verbs we have already: ir, ser, leer, estudiar, hacer, escribir, aprender, tener…

Let’s add a few verbsO These next 3 verbs are used slightly different

than you are used to seeing, but it’s okay! We will work through them together and with practice, it will become second nature!

O Let’s talk about “reflexive verbs”O When a verb is “reflexive”, the subject and

the object are the same.

Don’t cry! It’s easier than it sounds!

Hey! No sleeping in class!

You might miss something important!!!

Reflexive VerbsThese are verbs that demonstrate a person performing an action on oneself.

Reflexive Verb English TranslationLevantarse To get up (To get oneself up)Acostarse To go to bed (To take oneself

to bed)Bañarse To bathe (To bathe oneself)

Remember, Spanish is a language of patterns. Do you see any patterns in the verbs? The infinitive form of

the verb ends in “-se”

Let’s take a closer look…

O Although the infinitive forms of reflexive verbs end in “–se”, they are still “-ar”, “-er”, or “-ir” verbs.

O Use the ending right before the “-se” to determine what type of verb it is

O Let’s see which category (“-ar”, “-er”, or “-ir”) each of your reflexive verbs belong…

What type of verb is “levantarse”?

-ar

What type of verb is “acostarse”?

-ar

What type of verb is “bañarse”

-ar

The reflexive verbs you have this week are all “-ar” verbs!

You already know how to conjugate these… for the most part!

Check under your desk…One of you is the lucky winner of a midterm exemption!Made you look!

Just wanted to see if you were paying attention

Reflexive verbs have “-se” attached to the end of the verb in the infinitive form.

In order to conjugate, you will need to use “reflexive pronouns”

instead of “subject pronouns”

Reflexive PronounsThese do not use the subject pronouns you are used to. You will have to memorize these!Singular
