Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. Reflexive pronouns are: 'me', 'te', 'se', 'nous', 'vous', 'se'. They precede the verb.
  2. The verb parts of regular reflexive verbs are conjugated in the same way as regular -er, -ir and -re verbs.
  3. Reflexive verbs form the perfect tense with 'être' and past participles must agree.
  4. The Cannes film festival is one of Europe's biggest film festivals.

Keywords

  • Reflexive - describes an action where the subject and the object of the verb are the same

  • Reflexive pronoun - used to indicate doing something to yourself words like 'myself' and 'yourself'

Common misconception

I should include as much detail as possible in role-play answers.

When performing a role-play, answers should contain one verb and be concise. Do not add unnecessary detail.
