Imperativo y Reflexivo verbos

Question

I have a table with rules about Imperativos, but when i have to conjugate a reflexive verb into imperative i got little bit confused for example: Normal:Come la comida! (comer,tú) Reflexive:Bañaos rapido (bañarse ,vosotros)

So as far as i can tell by rules > comer (end with ER > come) bañARse > (end at AR and se for reflexive form so should be > bañad but since it's reflexive the "d" is dropped and the "os" because of vosotros form is added)

if that's right ok, but what about other reflexive verbs , i get confused which one is dropped (every time "d") or just in AR verbs?

Please some explanation,thanks.

Great question.

With reflexive verbs (those with "se" attached to the verb) you take the "se" and move it in front of the main verb...sort of like this:

Bañarse = se bañar

Then you conjugate both the "se" and "bañar" depending on who you are talking about, like this:

Me baño (I bathe)

Se baña (He/she/usted bathes)

Te bañas (You bathe)

Nos bañamos (We bathe)

Se bañan (You all-- ustedes or they bathe)

Os bañáis (You all --vosotros bathe)

I take a bath on Sundays = Me baño los domingos. - --Mariana--, Mar 15, 2012

Os bañáis (You all --vosotros bathe) , the thing is that i want to make it imperative like my example Bañaos rapido (bañarse ,vosotros) ,and i am confused why "d" is dropped and what is general rule about that. - hous4o, Mar 15, 2012
