Redundant reflexive?

Wylie T.B2Kwiziq community member

Very often in Spanish you see statements expressed both with or without the reflexive particle. Is there a difference in nuance?, I am wondering. For example, comí la torta vs. me comí la torta; murío mi mamá el año pasado vs. se murío mi mamá el año pasado...etc., etc. Is this discussed anywhere?

Hola Wylie

Yes, this is discussed in this lesson called "se aspectual"; here, you'll find the reason behind using some verbs as pronominal verbs and different examples. I hope it's useful.

Saludos cordiales
