Hi we just relexive verbs and I'm already stuck Please check this answer
¿Cómo te llamas?
1. Me llamas Isabel
2.Te llamas Isabel
3.Te llamo Isabel
4.Me llamo Isabel
Would it be "Me llamo Isabel?" because Te llamo Isabel is the usual way Also Te gustan los deportes?
Would I say
Si(accent over i), me gustan los deportes. or do I need the te in place of "me"
Sorry to act so dumb but I'm confused
So I didn't mean to put Te llamo Isabel as the usual way, I meant to say Me llamo Isable is the way I think we put it because that wouldn't involve reflexive in this case, I don't think.
¨Cómo te llamas¨ directly translates to ¨what do you call yourself?¨
Me llamo is correct because it means ¨I call (llamo) myself (me) Isabel¨.
Te llamas Isabel is ¨you call yourself Isabel¨, while Me llamas Isabel means ¨you call me Isabel¨
Also, you would put ¨me gustan los deportes¨, for the same reason (I like sports, not).
Te Gustan is ¨do you like sports¨
Thank you for answering
Reflexive verbs look like regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs (if they are regular) or stem-changing verbs (o-ue, e-ie, e-i) with one additional step. That is the reflexive pronoun referring back to the subject.
yo me
tu te
él/ella, usted = se
nosotros/nosotras nos
vosotros/vosotras os
ellos/ellas/ustedes = se
Please repost any questions you have on Reflexive Verbs.
As for the verb "gustar" if you learn the meaning as "to be pleasing to..." you will understand how ONE thing IS pleasing = me gusta helado / and TWO or more things ARE pleasing = me gustan deportes.

No worries! Referring to reflexive verbs can often be confusing at first. Let's break down your questions one by one:
¿Cómo te llamas?
To answer this question, you can say "Me llamo Isabel." The use of "me" in this sentence is correct because "llamarse" is a reflexive verb, meaning the action of calling oneself. In this case, "me" functions as the reflexive pronoun and refers to the subject (which is "yo" or "I" in English).
Te gustan los deportes?
To answer this question, you can say "Sí, me gustan los deportes." The use of "me" in this sentence is also correct because it is another reflexive pronoun that refers back to the subject "yo." The verb "gustar" is commonly used with reflexive pronouns.
Remember, when using reflexive verbs in Spanish, you need to include the reflexive pronoun that matches the subject. Here is a quick breakdown of the reflexive pronouns in Spanish:
- Me (referring to "yo" - I)
- Te (referring to "tú" - you singular familiar)
- Se (referring to third person - he, she, formal you, or they)
So, to form a sentence with a reflexive verb, you need to include the correct reflexive pronoun along with the appropriate verb conjugation.
I hope this clarifies things for you! Let me know if you have any more questions.
