Reflexive verbs

Instructions:

It's not always clear for an English native speaker to know when an English verb is translated by a reflexive verb in Spanish, but the dictionary will indicate this for you.

Find the correct reflexive pronoun for each translated sentence, if applicable. You can start by looking up the English verb used, but you may need to look further.
