REFLEXIVE VERBS VERBOS REFLEXIVOS

Reflexive verbs are use to describe actions you do to yourself : 
Me ducho. (I take a shower.)

We also use them when the actions implicate a change: 
Me levanto a las 8:00 de la mañana. (I get up at 8:00 am.) 

The infinitive form of a reflexive verb has the reflexive pronoun se attached to the end : 
bañarse ( to take a bath). 


When we use a reflexive verb, the reflexive pronoun changes according to the subject of the verb. Normally it is in front of the verb.
