We use Reflexive verbs when someone performs an action to or for himself/herself. In other words, the subject of the verb and the direct object of the verb are the same person.This verb is always accompanied by a Reflexive Pronoun. These pronouns are indicated in the Table below. Therefore:

1. Margarita se lava el pelo con el champú.

First  se

Second  lava

Margarita can be replaced by ella, that is the third-person singular (feminine form). So, se is the direct object pronoun for the third-person singular. Lava, accompanying this pronoun, is a conjugation of the verb lavar. So this sentence means:

Margarita washes her hair with the shampoo.

2. Ricardo y Teresita se miran en el espejo.

First se

Second miran

Ricardo y Teresita can be replaced by ellos, that is the third-person plural. So, se is the direct object pronoun for the third-person plural. Miran, accompanying this pronoun, is a conjugation of the verb Mirar. So this sentence means:

Ricardo and Teresita look in the mirror.

3. Yo uso “Crest” cuando yo me cepillo los dientes.

First  me

Second  cepillo

me is the direct object pronoun for the first-person singular. Cepillo, accompanying the pronoun, is a conjugation of the verb cepillar. So this sentence means:

I use "Crest" when brushing my teeth.

4. Tú te lavas en el lavabo.

First  te

Second  lavas

te is the direct object pronoun for the second-person singular. Lavas, accompanying the pronoun, is a conjugation of the verb lavar. So this sentence means:

5. Ustedes no se afeitan por la mañana.

First  se

You do not shave in the morning.

6. Sara se maquilla con el polvo de cara.

First  se

Second  maquilla

Sara can be replaced by ella, that is third-person singular (feminine form). So, se is the direct object pronoun for the third-person singular. Maquilla, accompanying this pronoun, is a conjugation of the verb maquillar. So this sentence means:
