For the te secas el pelo and te banas example wouldn’t you bathe yourself before drying your hair and dry your hair after bathing yourself?

Hola Sr. Jordan

Thank you very much for your answer to all my questions before.

Do all the verbs need to stem change if they contain more than one vowels (not include the end ar/ir/er) ?

thanks

Your question puzzles me. I’d never really thought about that.

Someone kind of explains why they stem change here:

Sr. Jordan, me encantan mucho sus videos….muchisima gracias por compartiendo (or is it just compartir?? )

He visto el video sobre los reflexivos y tengo unas dudas

1. es posible decir yo cepillo mis dientes?? podemos usar esta frase en vez de yo me cepillo los dientes?

2. Como se usa antes de y despues de con los reflexivos para la forma vosotros.

gracias

Ramya,
Thanks for your comment and questions…

For your first question, I already answered that in a comment: here

For your second question, the vosotros forms in the present would be:
(-ar verbs) os laváis la cara – you all wash your faces
(-er verbs) os veis en la fiesta – you all see each other in the party
(-ir verbs) os dormís – you all fall asleep

with antes de and después de, we would use the verbs in the infinitive (ending in r) and adding the os to the end…

ex:
¿Os secáis antes de vestiros u os vestís mojados?
Do you all dry off before getting dressed or do you all get dressed wet?
¿Nunca os bañáis antes de acostaros?
You all never take a bath before going to bed?
