Los verbos reflexivos

Question

I am already in the reflexive verbs lesson. I made a few sentences and I just want to know if they are correct. Please correct my mistakes. Thank you.

1. No quiero se trabajar más - I don't want her to work anymore
2. Ella no me quiere ir a la fiesta - She doesn't want me to go to the party
3. Ellos nos quiren estudiar español - They want us to study spanish.
4. No se quiero venir con nosotros - I don't want them to come with us.

Answer 1

Hello,

The main problem with your sentences is that they all require the usage of the subjunctive tense and therefore are not proper examples of reflexive verbs.

---

This is what your sentences should look like:

• No quiero que ella trabaje más = I don´t want THAT she works anymore /(I don´t want her to work anymore)
• Ella no quiere que yo vaya a la fiesta = She doesn´t want THAT I go to the party / (She doesn´t want me to go to the party)
• Ellos quieren que nosotros estudien español. = They want THAT we study spanish / (They want us to study spanish)
• No quiero que ellos vengan con nosotros. = I don´t want THAT they come with us / (I don´t want them to come with us)

The verb ''irse'' in english means to go off or to go away.

Ex) - ¡Váyase! = Go away! - Me fui a las seis = I left at six

Examples of Reflexive Verbs:

¨Me afeito toda mañana = I shave (myself) every morning - Ella se despierta a las doce = She wakes (herself) up at twelve - Ellos se duchan a la noche = They shower (themselves) at night

I hope this helps, James
