We use a reflexive verb when we are doing something to ourselves, not to someone else. True or false?

We know a verb is reflexive if it ends in "se."

Therefore, the answer is TRUE, we use a reflexive verb when we are doing something to ourselves, not to someone else.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

The correct answer is true.

When you are performing an action on yourself, rather that on someone else, then the verb you are going to use is a reflective verb. For example, to tuck yourself in - this means that you alone managed to tuck yourself in a bed, rather than have someone else do it for you.

Reflective verbs are always followed by a reflective pronoun, such as myself, yourself, himself, etc.
