verbos reflexivos

LOS VERBOS REFLEXIVOS
- Un verbo es reflexivo, (en inglés al igual que en español), cuando la acción del sujeto recae sobre este mismo. Por lo tanto, salvo algunas excepciones de verbos que siempre son reflexivos (to pride oneself, to absent oneself...) el resto de los verbos pueden ser reflexivos o no dependiendo de su función en la oración.
To wash / lavar
To wash oneself / lavarse
- Existen algunos verbos reflexivos en español que no lo son en inglés.
To get up / levantarse
To sit down / sentarse
To wake up / despertarse
- No siempre es necesario conjugar algunos verbos en su forma reflexiva.
In the morning, I wash myself and I shave myself / Por la mañana, yo me lavo y me afeito
Es más correcto decir: In the morning, I wash and shave

There is one student who is the tallest in the class, and because it's clear to the listener which one we mean, we usually use 'the': She's  the  most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

That's our most important goal. It's possible to drop 'the' when the adjective is used later in the sentence, rather than directly before the noun. We can choose either 'the' or 'no article', with no change in meaning: She is (the) most beautiful
