Questions & Answers about ¿Tienes que ducharte ahora?
Why is there a que after Tienes?
Why is te attached to the end of duchar?
Duchar is the verb "to shower", and te is the reflexive pronoun meaning "yourself". When a verb is in its infinitive (unchanged) form, like it is after tienes que, you can attach the pronoun directly to the end of it to make one single word: ducharte.
Does the attached pronoun have to match the person I'm talking to?
Yes! Even though the verb duchar is in the infinitive, the pronoun still has to match the subject. Because you are asking "Do you have to...", you use the informal "you" pronoun te. If you were saying "I have to shower", it would be Tengo que ducharme.
