Hola. So in this lesson we’re going to continue talking about using the word “se” similarly to how we did in the videos on “se permite” and “se prohíbe“.

At times the “se” gives off the idea of “you [do something]” without saying “you”. Other times, we might translate it to “one does something” or “something is done”.

Leave any questions or comments below!

Enjoy!
