### Stem-Changing Reflexives

Some common reflexive verbs ending in **-ir** have a stem change in the present tense. Specifically, the vowel **e** in the stem changes to an **i**, but *only* in the **eu** (I) form. All other forms are regular.

Take a look at the conjugation for **vestir-se** (to get dressed):

| | |
|---|---|
| eu | v**i**sto-me |
| tu | v**e**stes-te |
| ele / ela / você | v**e**ste-se |
| nós | vestimo-nos |
| eles / elas / vocês | v**e**stem-se |

The verb **despir-se** (to get undressed) follows this exact same pattern (*eu d**i**spo-me*, *tu d**e**spes-te*).

{{item:980150}}

{{item:980149}}

Negative words like **não** act as magnets and pull the reflexive pronoun before the verb.

{{item:980151}}

For continuous actions (*estar a...*), the verb stays in its infinitive form and the pronoun attaches to the end.

### Feeling Comfortable in Your Clothes

The verb **sentir-se** (to feel) behaves just like the verbs above: its **eu** form is **sinto-me**, while the other forms keep the **e** (like *sentes-te*).

{{item:980161}}

### Footwear and Accessories

When putting together an outfit, you will need vocabulary for other clothing items, such as **as meias** (the socks), **as botas** (the boots), and **o chapéu** (the hat).
