Reflexive pronouns in French
What is a reflexive pronoun?
Reflexive pronouns ("Les pronoms réfléchis" in French) are me, te, se, nous, vous. They are used with pronominal verbs.
They always refer to the subject and are the same person as the subject.
The reflexive pronoun also has disjoint forms (moi, toi, soi, nous, vous, eux) but these are used less frequently and in special cases.
Examples
- Il se regarde dans la glace.
He looks at himself in the mirror.
- Nous nous demandons si nous sommes bien habillés.
We wonder if we are well dressed.
- Tu t'es préparé pour le dîner au restaurant.
You got ready for dinner at the restaurant.
