How to use reflexive verbs in GermanNow that you know some reflexive verbs in German, let's use them in complete sentences. Whenever you use reflexive verbs in German, you only have to think of one simple rule:
Exercise Fill in the correct reflexive pronouns into the empty spaces below. Example: Ich wasche ____. Ich wasche mich. Du rasierst . Sandra und Patrick unterhalten . Wir amüsieren . Erwin und Heinz freuen . Ich dusche . Ihr umarmt . Sie verspäten .  Now the question is, how do we use reflexive verbs with adverbs of time and frequency? To find out, let's translate the following sentence together before we do some exercises on this: In the morning, I take a shower. 1) We translate "In the morning" with "Am Morgen" or "Morgens", right? 2) Then we translate "I take a shower" with "ich dusche mich", where "ich" = subject, "dusche" = verb, "mich" = direct object (reflexive pronoun). 3) BUT! Since we have the information of time at the beginning of the sentence, we have to switch the subject and the verb of the sentence. 4) Thus, the whole sentence would be: "Morgens dusche ich mich." Exercise For each information of time given below and each reflexive verb, can you make sentences, in which you start with the information of time? In the exercise below, the information of time is highlighted in blue, the subject is green and the reflexive pronoun is red. Example: jetzt + ich + sich kratzen Jetzt kratze ich mich.
