Explanation:

In Spanish, reflexive verbs are used when the subject performs an action on itself. We need to choose between the non - reflexive and reflexive forms based on the context. For example, when washing oneself we use the reflexive form, but when washing an object like a car, we use the non - reflexive form.

1. "lavar" is used as the object is "el auto" (the car), not oneself.
2. "bañarse" is used as it means "to bathe oneself" and "nosotros" (we) are performing the action on ourselves.
3. "acostar" is used as the action is being done to "los niños" (the children), not on Raúl and Marta themselves.
4. "maquillarse" is used as Cecilia is applying makeup to herself.
5. "vestirse" is used as "mis amigos" (my friends) are dressing themselves.
6. "ponerse" is used as Julia and Ana are putting on the new dresses on themselves.
7. "ir" is used as the meaning is "to go" and there is no self - directed action.
8. First blank: "afeitarse" as the speaker is usually shaving himself. Second blank: "afeitar" as the barber is performing the action on the speaker.

Answer:

1. lavar
2. bañarse
3. acostar
