Why does this change?
- Regular
- Follows the standard -ar/-er/-ir pattern in every tense — once you know the pattern, you can conjugate this verb without memorizing anything extra.
- Reflexive
- The subject does the action to itself, so the verb pairs with a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, se) — e.g. levantarse, "to get (oneself) up."
