This video is a continuation of part 1 on reflexive verbs. In this video, we also go over four new verbs that are reflexives dealing with the daily routine, but are also stem-changers (or ‘shoe verbs’). The rule of stem-changers is reviewed in this video.
Hope it’s helpful! Feel free to leave questions, comments, or suggestions! 🙂
useful verbs:

What is the one for vosotros and vosotras?
Could you say “Yo capillo mis dientes” instead of “Yo me capillo los dientes”
Thanks.
Jimmy,
“(yo) cepillo mis dientes” is a literal translation from English. It makes sense from an English speaker’s perspective. But you have to be aware that Spanish has different structures because it is a different language.
“(yo) Me cepillo los dientes” is the preferred structure.

Your vids are super cool…I will praise you up more on this at a later date,
however, I can’t stop laughing at your obvious reference to ‘Mr Mackey’ from Southpark… …Mmkaaay.. This is way funny and cool that you are including this in your presentations …’Mmkaaay..

My wife doesnt speak english and I dont speak Spanish. This could be the help that saves our family. Gracias
Amazing help!! I’m studying at the University of Toronto and I use your videos for studying. I’m not a textbook learner and I learn much better with your visuals.Thanks so much!!
Shelia,
Ay ay ay…. Gracias. For ‘We go to sleep’, it should be ‘nosotros nos dormimos’. You’re correct.
I think I did that because in either language, I don’t always distinguish between ‘falling asleep’ and ‘going to bed’ since when I go to bed, I fall asleep even though they are two distinct things!

Senor Jordan:
You translated “We fall asleep” into “Nosotros nos acostamos” in the exercise of this lesson. does “acostarse” mean “mormirse”, too?
