thank you! im learning about reflexive verbs now. having a tough time because hard for me to tell when to use in a reflexive form or not. like for instance lavar vs lavarse. Also, sometimes i see reflexive pronouns before verbs like poder and ver that i wouldn’t expect to be reflexive. like in “nos vemos.” im learning stuff like “queremos quedarnos aquí “ my head is spinning. ahahaah

Gracias por toda la ayuda!!

@kenandmaybedon LOL! I can totally relate; back in 2019 when I first heard of reflexive verbs I was baffled, like, so confused, but the more you read and see how all these words are used, the better you'll get at understanding them. It's not very easy to type out explanations, but, if you want, I can totally help you on Zoom or Discord or somewhere we can chat with voice. Just let me know! My Instagram is hosephguadalupee. I can totally help you, I've been exactly where you're at right now, and I know how confusing it is. Please don't hesitate to ask me anything.

P.S.
Some verbs and phrases may seem reflexive, but they're actually reciprocal verbs or just contain direct objects that are the same as the subject.

For example,
Me comí unas quesadillas.
Comí unas quesadillas.
Exactly the same sentence except the former has the direct object "me" as a means of emphasis; it's not refelxive.

"Nos vemos" is a reciprocal verb conjugate; it's an action being shared mutually between two or more people. They are doing it to "each other." Think of these as having "each other" at the end.
Abrazarse - hug [each other]
Besarse - kiss [each other]
Escribirse - write [to each other]
Conocerse - meet [each other]

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre yo visto a mis perros. y me visto a mis perros. y are they the same? ?

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre yo visto a mis perros. y me visto a mis perros. y are they the same? ?Puedes dar oraciones como ejemplo.

@kenandmaybedon Oh sorry dude 😅So, it'd be "Yo visto a mis perros", because "Yo me visto" means I'm dressing

@kenandmaybedon OHHH!! Yes, it would be: Yo visto a mis perros. Yo me visto means I'm dressing (myself); it's a reflexive verb conjugate (vestirse, like you said.) You'll learn more about reflexive verbs later if you're taking it in school or an online program.
