Purpose
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to talk about daily routines with reflexive pronouns.
Lesson Explanation
Common reflexive verbs are acordar-se (wake up), chamar-se (be called), and vestir-se (get dressed). In Brazilian Portuguese, the pronoun often comes before the verb: Eu me acordo cedo, Ela se veste.
Use me, te, se, nos, se to match the subject. In everyday Brazilian speech, Eu me chamo… is a natural self-introduction.
