Practice Exercises
Forgetting the reflexive pronoun (*Llamo Ana → Me llamo Ana). Also placing the pronoun in the wrong position. 🇬🇧 English speakers: English rarely uses reflexive constructions. 'My name is Ana' doesn't obviously map to 'Me llamo Ana' (literally: I call myself Ana).

Me llamo Carlos.

My name is Carlos.

llamarse = to be called (literally: to call oneself). 'Me' is the reflexive pronoun for yo.

Me levanto a las siete.

I get up at seven.

levantarse → me levanto. The reflexive pronoun 'me' goes BEFORE the conjugated verb.

¿A qué hora se acuestan los niños?

What time do the children go to bed?

acostarse → se acuestan. Note the stem change o→ue AND the reflexive 'se' for ellos.
