Wash (Verb) ■ Who is doing the action? I (Subject) ■ Who is receiving the action? me (Object) ● In English a verb is reflexive when you see words like: ○ myself, yourself, himself, herself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves ● But reflexive verbs in English don’t always use these above words. ● Your go to move to tell if a verb is reflexive: ○ Ask yourself are the subject and object the same ?
