Transitive and Reflexive

How do I tell whether the sentence needs a transitive or a reflexive verb? Like: She is bored by the class. Is it "ella se aburre por la clase OR ella aburre por la clase"? Thanks!

Learn to think more about "What verb do I need here?" rather than the grammatical classification. You'll get used to reflexive verbs as you continue studying. Good luck and success! - Jubilado, Nov 19, 2014

Actually neither one. Unless you can bore yourself!!!???

To make it clear, you have to say that the class bores her.

A ella le aburre la clase. (Transitive and intransitive and reflexive are three complicated subjects which will take some time in learning. If you are in a class taking Spanish, just follow your teacher's advice OK?
