A reflexive verb is a verb that is accompanied by a reflexive pronoun, indicating that the subject of the verb is also the recipient of the action. In other words, the subject performs the action on itself. Examples include "I wash myself" or "She dresses herself."
No, "mirar" is not a reflexive verb in Spanish. It is a regular transitive verb that means "to look at" or "to watch."
A reflexive verb in French is a verb that is accompanied by a reflexive pronoun, such as "se" or "s'". It indicates that the subject of the verb is also the object of the verb, performing an action on oneself. Reflexive verbs are commonly used to express actions that someone does to themselves, such as "se laver" (to wash oneself).
The reflexive pronoun usually goes before the conjugated verb in Spanish. For example, "Me levanto" (I get up).
Reflexive means being directed back on oneself. In language, a reflexive pronoun is used when the subject and object of a verb are the same. Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject is performing an action on itself.
No, "itself" is a reflexive pronoun, not a verb. It is used to refer back to a noun mentioned earlier in the sentence.

"Reflexive" and "transitive" are not contrary. Educate may be a transitive or an intransitive verb. Reflexive verbs are transitive by definition, having an object identical to their subject: I educate myself.
the action of the verb
No, a reflexive pronoun can follow an action verb or a linking verb; examples: Dad made himself some breakfast. (Dad did not make himself, dad made breakfast for himself, the reflexive pronoun is the indirect object.) The Golds repaired the roof themselves. (The Golds repaired the roof, not themselves.) Margie seems herself this morning, she must feel better. (Margie = herself, seems is the linking verb.)
A reflexive pronoun usually comes after the verb in a sentence. For example:Dad made himself some breakfast.Dad made some breakfast himself.When the reflexive pronoun comes directly after the subject of the sentence, it is called an intensive pronoun, used for emphasis. For example:Dad himself made breakfast.
Estoy haciendo mi tarea.
A 'reflexive object' is a reflexive pronoun used as an object in a sentence.A reflexive pronoun is a word used to 'reflect back' to its antecedent.They are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.Examples:I saw myself in the mirror.(direct object of the verb 'saw')Mandy made herself a sandwich.(indirect object of the verb 'made')Mike went fishing by himself. (object of the preposition 'by')
'A verb is reflexive' = 'un verbo es reflexivo'. What it means, is that (generally, in English as well as Spanish and other languages) a verb is accompanied by '(my/your/him/her/its)self' or '(our/your/their)selves'; (or the equivalent so-called 'reflexive pronoun(s)' in other languages. In Spanish, 'me/te/se/le/nos/os/les'). E.g. I wash the windows = Lavo las ventanas I wash myself/you wash yourself, etc. = me lavo/te lavas, etc. In Spanish you also use the reflexive if you say 'I wash my hands' = me lavo las manos (literally: I wash myself the hands).
