1. REFLEXIVE VERBS By: Joshua Maharaj-Jurai Nuri Sadeek James Leigh Jullianne Busch

2. A Reflexive Verb A verb is reflexive if the subject and the object are the same. Each reflexive verb is made up of two parts. The first part is called the reflexive pronoun and the verb that comes after it is called the reflexive verb. Example: Me llamo Bob. In the above sentence ‘llamo’ is the reflexive verb.
