• Verbs with reflexive pronouns
• -If the subject and object of a verb are the
  same, a reflexive
  pronoun can be used. The reflexive pronoun shows
  that the subject acts upon itself. When
  
  you conjugate a verb like lavarse, include the
  reflexive pronoun that agrees
  with the subject.

• Here are some reflexive verbs
• afeitarse (to shave)
• acostarse (oue) (to go to bed)
• bañarse (to bathe)
• despertarse (eie) (to wake up)
