Take the tour ×  One page I recently ran across discusses the
concept of "no fault constructions" or verbs that use se in such
a way to describe an action as taking place apart from the
person who caused the action. For example:    • Se me cayó.   •
Se me olvidó.   • Se me perdió.  What verbs can be used this way
(it seems like it's a relatively small list)? Is there a name
for phrases like this? What role do the se and me play (i.e.
what type of pronouns are they)?  share|improve this question

transitive verb > + < nominal element >  The verb will be always
conjugated in 3rd person. If the nominal element is singular it
will be 3rd person singular, but if that nominal element is
plural it will be 3rd person plural.  for example:  Se vende esa
casa  Se venden esas casas  Se venden casas  Se venden (you can
even omit the nomina
