Should the heading be "CAERSE"?

Should the heading be "CAERSE"?

Just wondering if the heading should be "CAERSE" instead of "CAER" as all the examples are reflexive.  This confused me for a moment.

Also, there's an interesting use of "traer" here in Mexico.  If we only have a large bill to pay with at a small store and we want to say "Do you have change?", we don't say "Tienes cambio?"  Instead we say "Traes cambio?"

Hola Marcos

I have now included an example using caer (non-reflexive) so it also illustrates that. We have a note in the lesson saying that caer is generally used with reflexive pronouns. 

Interesting use of traer in México. 

Gracias y saludos
