Q

When you do something for yourself, it is called a reflexive action because the action goes directly back to the actor.

a mi mismo / a …. to myself

a ti mismo / a … to yourself

a si mismo / a …. to himself / herself/ ourself / itself

A

e.g. to myself (“to” is the preposition)

Expressing a reflexive action can be done in two ways, with a reflexive pronoun alone or with a preposition. eg. “to” etc.

a nosotros / as … mismos / as … to ourselves

a vosotros / as ….. mismos / as … to yourselves

a si mismos / as ….. to themselves

(F) …. to yourselves
