There are two separate tasks when conjugating reflexive verbs:
· First, take off the reflexive pronoun se, change it to agree with the subject of the verb, and place it directly in front of the verb.
· Then, as with all verbs, you must conjugate the infinitive according to whether it's an -ar, -er, -ir, stem-changing, or irregular verb.
