Object pronouns and Reflexive verbs.

Question

With the object pronouns and the reflexive verbs I am confused. Like you have ''me, te, le'' etc... Do they have do stay on their verb example: Me alegro. Can ''Me'' be used like ''Me alegra''? I don't understand which pronouns go in front of each verb. Thanks in advance for the help!

Answer 1

You have chosen a confusing example. Me alegra is not reflexive, ie: Me alegra que hayas venido .... That you have come makes me happy. Reflexive in this case would be: Me alegro que hayas venido .... I am happy that you have come.

A simple reflexive: En la mañana me peino .... In the morning I comb my hair. This can be used in any person, ie: (Tú) te peinas / (Nosotros) nos peinamos / (UD.) se peina etc.

Not reflexive: En la mañana le peino a mi niño.
