What you’ll learn

I can use plural reflexive verbs, possessive adjectives and pronouns in the context of daily life.

Key learning points

Reflexive verbs have the same subject and object.
To conjugate plural reflexive verbs, place the pronouns 'nos', 'os' and 'se' before verbs with the corresponding ending.
Possessive adjectives show who something belongs to and possessive pronouns replace possessive adjectives + nouns.
The possessive adjectives 'mío', 'tuyo' and 'suyo' can follow 'ser' to show belonging to, e.g. 'la bolsa es mía'.
To form possessive pronouns, use the definite article before 'mío', 'suyo' or 'tuyo', based on gender and number.

Words to know

reflexive: describes an action where the subject and object of the verb are the same

Verbs do not always have different subjects and objects. For example, reflexive verbs have the same subject and object.
