True reflexive constructions
When the subject and object are the same, the sentence is called a reflexive sentence. In Spanish, you can use regular object pronouns for reflexive sentences except for Ud./Uds. and él/ella/ellos/ellas, all of which require se. That is, the reflexive pronouns are me, te, se, nos, and os. Look at the chart to see how this works:Reflexive and Nonreflexive sentences
| Subject and Object are different (memorize) | Subject and Object are the same (memorize) |
|---|---|

| ¿Te pone restricciones tu trabajo? (Does your job put restrictions on you?) | ¿Te pones restricciones? (Do you put restrictions on yourself?) |
