  1. REFLEXIVE VERBS French II – Mme Smith BCHS

  2. When to use a reflexive verb • The action is performed by the subject on itself. • The verb has a reflexive pronoun as its object. • The subject and the object pronoun refer to the same thing. • Example: he hurt himself or we will enjoy ourselves

  3. Where do reflexive object pronouns go? • Reflexive object pronouns go directly in front of the conjugated verb almost all the time. (Je me lave.) • However, reflexive object pronouns go in front of the infinitive if there is an infinitive in the sentence. (Je vais me laver.) • The second exception to the rule is that reflexive object pronouns go after the conjugated verb when the sentence is an affirmative or positive command. (Lave-toi/Lavez-vous.)

  4. subject – reflexive pronoun - verb Reflexive pronouns usually precede the verb. Il se réveille. He wakes up. Elle se parle. She talks to herself. Reflexive pronouns can also be used to show reciprocal actions Ils se parlent tous les jours. They talk to each other every day.
