A2 Reflexive verbs (levantarse, ducharse)

A reflexive verb has the subject act on itself. The infinitive ends in -se (levantarse = to get [oneself] up), and you add a reflexive pronoun.

me levanto	I get up
te levantas	you get up
se levanta	he/she gets up
nos levantamos	we get up
os levantáis	you all get up
se levantan	they get up

Many daily-routine verbs are reflexive: ducharse (to shower), vestirse (to get dressed), llamarse (to be called). Me llamo Ana = “I call myself Ana”.
