Reflexives Verb Glossary of terms

A reflexive verb is one in which the action of the verb falls back on the same subject that performs it.

Detailed Explanation

In German, reflexive verbs are conjugated with a reflexive pronoun that agrees with the subject. These pronouns are: mich, dich, sich, uns, euch, sich. The reflexive pronoun is usually placed after the conjugated verb in main clauses and towards the end in subordinate clauses.

Some verbs are always reflexive, while others can be used reflexively or non-reflexively depending on the context.
