Question 1 with 6 blanksAntes de salir con amigos el sábado por la noche, mi rutina típica es la siguiente: primero, (yo)(1) ___me ducho y (2)me lavo el pelo. Luego, (3)me seco el cuerpo con la toalla. A continuación, (4) me visto

muy elegante y (5) me maquillo. Así, cuando estoy con mis amigos en la discoteca, (6)me divierto mucho toda la noche.

Explanation:

Los verbos encontrados en esta pregunta se llaman 'verbos pronominales'. Se conjugan con pronombres reflexivos como 'me, te, se, nos, os, se' antes de la correspondiente desinencia. La mayoría de dichos verbos son intransitivos (no necesitan objeto directo) y muchos, como en este caso se refieren a acciones de aseo y cuidado personal.

Yo me maquillo
