Using Reflexive Verbs and Typical Phrases in Context

Understand the reflexive verbs related to romantic relationships such as “enamorarse de” (to fall in love with) and “divorciarse de” (to get divorced). Remember that reflexive verbs require reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, os, se), and need to be conjugated in line with the subject.

Practice using verbs in different tenses to talk about past relationships, present relationships, and future intentions. For instance, the present perfect tense can be used for recent past events (“Hemos discutido mucho últimamente”, meaning “we’ve been arguing a lot lately”).
Learn to write well-structured paragraphs, incorporating a range of vocabulary, grammar and tenses. For instance, using complex structures such as “Si tuviera un/a novio/a, me gustaría que fuera amable y comprensivo/a” (If I had a boyfriend/girlfriend, I would like him/her to be kind and understanding).

Remember to include opinions and justifications to showcase a higher level of language. For example, “Prefiero estar soltero porque me gusta mi independencia” (I prefer to be single because I like my independence).
