Reflexive Verbs Reflexives: Sens idiomatique

2 A reflexive verb usually describes what a person does to or for himself or herself.
-It “reflects” the action of the verb back to the subject. - The pronoun se before an infinitive identifies the verb as reflexive: se laver

3 -Reflexive verbs always use reflexive pronouns.
Je uses the reflexive pronoun me Tu uses te Il uses se Elle uses se Nous uses nous Vous uses vous Ils uses se Elles uses se The reflexive prounoun goes before the reflexive verb and the verb is conjugated like normal.
