Module 22 — Reflexive Daily Actions
Three lessons · H09–H10 · Contemporary Mexican Spanish
Lesson 1 — Reflexive Morning Actions
Start with meaningful first-person routine forms. Spanish uses a small reflexive/pronominal word with these self-directed actions.
- levantarse— to get up
- bañarse— to bathe
- me levanto— I get up
- me baño— I bathe
Read “levantarse.” Give its English meaning.
The infinitive is missing its self-directed ending: levantar__. Complete the Module 22 infinitive.
Choose the Spanish infinitive you would use for the self-directed action “to get up.”
Say or type the reflexive infinitive for “to get up.”
Write the Spanish reflexive infinitive meaning “to bathe oneself.”
Read “bañarse.” Give its English meaning.
Rebuild the complete infinitive from the cue ba_ar_se, preserving ñ.

Say or type the reflexive infinitive for “to bathe.”
The morning timeline starts with “I get up.” Write the Spanish you learned form.
Read “me levanto.” State its English meaning.

Say or type “I get up” in Spanish from memory.
After getting up, say the learned action “I bathe.”

Rebuild the complete form you learned, preserving ñ: me ba_o.
Someone asks for another self-directed morning action. Answer: “I bathe.”

The reflexive relationship stays active while the verb itself can follow a familiar stem-change pattern.
- vestirse— to get dressed
- acostarse— to go to bed
- me visto— I get dressed
- me acuesto— I go to bed
Write the reflexive infinitive meaning “to get dressed.”

Answer a question about getting ready with only: “I get dressed.”
Say or type “I get dressed” in Spanish.
End the day by writing: “I go to bed.”

Say or type “I go to bed” in Spanish.
Lesson 3 — Reflexive pronoun pattern
Match the reflexive pronoun to the person performing the self-directed action. In this module, se is only the reflexive/pronominal se; its other functions come later.
- me— with yo — myself
- te— with tú — yourself

- nos— with nosotros/nosotras — ourselves

Say or type the reflexive pronoun paired with YO.
Complete the Module 22 relationship TÚ →? with the reflexive pronoun.
