Key learning points

  1. Reflexive verbs have the same subject and object.
  2. To conjugate plural reflexive verbs, place the pronouns 'nos', 'os' and 'se' before verbs with the corresponding ending.
  3. Possessive adjectives show who something belongs to and possessive pronouns replace possessive adjectives + nouns.
  4. The possessive adjectives 'mío', 'tuyo' and 'suyo' can follow 'ser' to show belonging to, e.g. 'la bolsa es mía'.
  5. To form possessive pronouns, use the definite article before 'mío', 'suyo' or 'tuyo', based on gender and number.
