Answer 1

Answers:

Reflexive verbs are transitive verbs whose action falls on the same subject that performs them. In other words, they refer to an action of a subject on itself.

They are used together with reflexive pronouns, which are shown below according to the personal pronoun used:

1st person singular Yo (I): me  

2nd person singular (informal) Tú (You): te  

2nd person singular (formal) Usted (You): se  

3rd person singular Él/Ella/eso/esa (He/She/It): se  

1st person plural Nosotros (We): nos

2nd person plural Ustedes (You) (In latinAmerica): se  

2nd person plural Vosotros (You) (In Spain): os

3rd person plural Ellos/Ellas (They): se

Generally, the way they are written in the sentence is (1):

(1) Personal Pronoun + Reflexive pronoun + conjugated verb

Nevertheless, in Imperative the reflexive pronouns are placed at the end of the verb (2):

(2) Personal Pronoun + conjugated verb + Reflexive pronoun  

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

1. Mi mamá se enoja porque no queremos levantarnos temprano.  

(My mom gets angry because we do not want to get up early)

The first verb enojar (to get angry) is an example of the first case, in which the reflexive pronoun is written before the verb, taking into acount that Mi mamá is the 3rd person singular ella (she), and the corresponding reflexive pronoun is se.

The second verb levantar (to wake up) is an example of the second case, in which the reflexive pronoun goes after the verb, taking into account the Tacit Subject here is nosotros (we), hence the reflexive pronoun is nos.

2. La profesora se enoja con nosotros cuando no nos acordamos de los verbos.  

(The teacher gets angry with us when we do not remember the verbs)

The first verb enojar (to get angry) is an example of the first case, in which the reflexive pronoun is written before the verb, taking into acount that La profesora is the 3rd person singular ella (she), and the corresponding reflexive pronoun is se.

The second verb acordarse (to remember) is an example of the second case, in which the reflexive pronoun goes after the verb, taking into account the Tacit Subject here is nosotros (we), hence the reflexive pronoun is nos.

3. Mi hermano se cepilla los dientes cuando se levanta

(My brother brushes his teeth when he gets up)

Here both verbs cepillar (to brush) and levantar (wake up) are an example of the first case, in which the reflexive pronoun is written before the verb, taking into acount that Mi hermano is the 3rd person singular él(he), and the corresponding reflexive pronoun is se.

4. Mis amigas y yo nos quedamos estudiando en la biblioteca por la noche y por la mañana yo me duermo muy cansada.  

(My friends and I stayed in the library at night and in the morning I fall asleep very tired)

Here both verbs quedarse (to stay) and dormir (to sleep) are an example of the first case, in which the reflexive pronoun is written before the verb, taking into acount that the Tacit Subject nosotras is the 1st person plural we, and the corresponding reflexive pronoun is nos.

With the verb dormir, the Tacit Subject yo is the 1st person singular I, therefore the corresponding reflexive pronoun is me

5. Muchas noches me duermo delante del televisor, porque no quiero acostarme

(Many nights I fall asleep in front of the television, because I do not want to go to bed)

The first verb dormir (sleep) is an example of the first case, in which the reflexive pronoun is written before the verb, taking into acount that the Tacit Subject Yo is the 1st person singular I, and the corresponding reflexive pronoun is me.

The second verb acostar (to lie down or go to bed) is an example of the second case, in which the reflexive pronoun goes after the verb, taking into account the Tacit Subject here is yo (I), hence the reflexive pronoun is me.
