Morę Reflexive Verbs

When expressing actions regarding persona! care, Spanish reflexive verbs are used with a defi-nite article preceding parts of the body. In English, the possessive adjective is used instead.

Nos lavamos la cara.    We wash our faces.

Se cepillan los dientes.    They brush their teeth.

Notę that la cara, the noun referring to a part of the body, is singular, despite the fact that morę than one person is washing his or her face. In Spanish, it is understood that each one washes his or her own face. The same use of the singular applies to indmdual items of clothing with reflex-ive verbs. Of course, if the noun refers to morę than one item, the plural of the noun is used.

Se quitan el sombrero para saludar.    They take off their hats to greet you.

Estos chicos no se limpian las unas.    These kids do not clean their nails.
