The acquisition of reflexive verbs necessitates the grammatical understanding of actions where the subject and object are identical, requiring precise manipulation of reflexive pronouns. Candidates must distinguish between literal reflexive actions, reciprocal usage, and idiomatic pronominal verbs where the lexical meaning alters based on the presence of the pronoun. Assessment focuses on correct pronoun placement relative to conjugated verbs, infinitives, and imperatives across varying time frames and moods.
