Sentence info.

The sentence “Me afeité ayer” is in Spanish, and it translates to “I shaved yesterday” in English. It is formed using the reflexive verb “afeitarse,” which means “to shave oneself.” Reflexive verbs in Spanish are used when the subject of the action is also the object (the person performing the action is doing it to themselves). Here’s the breakdown:

– “Me” is the reflexive pronoun for the first person singular, which in this case, is the object pronoun “myself.”
– “Afeitarse” is the infinitive reflexive verb, but since the action is in the past, it’s conjugated in the preterite tense for the first person singular: “afeité.”
– “Ayer” means “yesterday,” which indicates when the action took place.

To remember this structure for reflexive verbs in the past tense, you can think of the sentence as having three parts:
1. The appropriate reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, se)
2. The conjugated form of the verb in the past tense for the corresponding subject
3. The time indicator (in this case, “ayer” for “yesterday”)

Alternate ways to say “I shaved yesterday” in Spanish include:
– “Ayer me afeité.” (Just reordering the words)
– “Ayer me rasuré.” (Using “rasurarse,” another verb that can mean “to shave oneself”)
– “Me rasuré ayer.” (Similar to the original, simply using “rasurarse” instead of “afeitarse”)
