2 Reflexive verbs usually (but not always) have the sense of something being done to oneself or to one another. In French, they are recognised by the ‘se / s’’ in front of the infinitive. Eg se laver –to wash yourself s’amuser – to enjoy yourself se retrouver – to meet (each other)

3 Each subject is used with its own reflexive pronoun: (I) Je me (you) tu te (he/she/it/we) il/elle/on se (we) nous nous (you) vous vous (they) ils/elles se

4 The verb endings of-course will follow the patterns we have already learned. And so we get: Je me couche vers minuit le samedi - I go to bed about midnight on Saturdays Ils s’amusent bien en vacances – They are having a good time on holiday.

5 Here is the pattern of a reflexive verb: Se laver –to get washed Je me lave Tu te laves Il/elle se lave On se lave Nous nous lavons Vous vous lavez Ils/elles se lavent
