REFLEXIVE VERBS · MI RUTINA DIARIA
Hear the pattern, place the pronoun, and build a daily routine that sounds natural.
The reflexive pronoun matches the person doing—and receiving—the action.
Despierto a mi hijo. = I wake my son. Me despierto. = I wake myself up. Not every routine verb is reflexive: desayuno, trabajo, estudio, and bebo café do not need a reflexive pronoun.
The number of verbs changes where the pronoun may go.
me + pongo + los zapatos
✓ Me pongo los zapatos.
× Pongo me los zapatos.
pronoun + conjugated verb or infinitive + pronoun
✓ Me quiero poner los zapatos.
✓ Quiero ponerme los zapatos.
× Quiero me poner los zapatos.
