Unlike English, a number of verbs in Spanish can be reflexive or non-reflexive. If the verb acts upon the _______, the reflexive form is used. If the verb acts upon something other than the _______, the non-reflexive form is used.

subject; subject Lola lava los platos. Lola se lava la cara. As the preceding sentences show, reflexive verbs sometimes have different meanings than their non-reflexive counterparts. For example, lavar means to wash, while lavarse means to wash oneself, to wash up.

Parts of the body or clothing are generally not referred to with possessives, but with _______.
