Why are so so much more productive than my teacher FaceTimeing our class🤣🤣thank u 🙌🏼

[@KING-bt1tm]

My French teacher took 75 minutes to explain this and she made it sound like rocket science.

[@ericlind6581]

Maybe he/she was a physics teacher subbing the French class.

[@sjm2752]

[@bobgade6733]

It's not that reflexive verbs are difficult, it's remembering which word ending goes with what context of sentences

[@phollykeeley1925]

Bonjour je m’appelle Pholly from Cambodia how can I buy that book ?

[@2380Shaw]

It's interesting that in French to drive is "Conduire" and as soon as I found that out I thought of train conductors which in a way they "drive a train" or "get it going in a direction" so that helped me remember that word.

This happens a lot with the Latin languages. That's what makes unravelling languages so beautiful

i wash my cat. And it takes me a long time to get the cat hair off my tongue. Is that reflexive?

[@essamzaki4218]

hi michael i dnt think so its interesting question but since you not reflecting it to u means your sentence is not considered as reflective.

[@Melodicblue42]

thanks for actually taking the time to answer my dumb question. Youre much more mature than me 😉👍😜

[@Username-ww2cd]

essam zaki I think it was a joke

[@josephineowino9017]

C'est intèressant...merci beacoup Alexa💕

[@BHUSHANKUMAR-bb3iu]

Bonjour madam , finding it difficult in reflexive verbs after being in France for 3 years ... but keep watching ur videos .. Plz explain.. 1.how to say « I am waking my sister in the morning. 2.mother was bathing her son 3.I told the guests to be seated comfortably Please explain like this complicated reflexive verbs in Present , past n future and also in Negation ...

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

BHUSHAN KUMAR Salut! J’ai lu ton post. Voici mes notes et réponses.... 1. « I am walking my sister in the morning. « Il y a deux sujets, toi et ta sœur. You cannot use a reflexive verb here. Your sentence seems to refer to the future, alors... « Je marche avec ma soeur demain matin. » 2. Mother was bathing her son. Two different subjects. So once again, a reflexive verb does not apply here. Votre phrase en française - « La mère lavait son fils. » 3. I told the guests to be seated comfortably. You and your guests are two different subjects. But you want your guests to sit themselves down. This is where the reflexive verb will be used - upon the guests only. . Also, when you invite a person to sit down, it’s implied that you want them to be comfortable. Votre phrase, « J’ai dit aux invités de s’asseoir. »

[@BHUSHANKUMAR-bb3iu]

Merci : butacup..,

[@BHUSHANKUMAR-bb3iu]

@ Butacup :;; i mentioned as waking up ; se lève but u replied as walking - marcher - any way thanks for ur concern

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

BHUSHAN KUMAR Okay, did you try applying the reflexive rules though? Can you wake yourself up and use a reflexive verb? Yes! Can you use a reflexive verb to say you woke up your sister? No. Can you tell us why?

[@BHUSHANKUMAR-bb3iu]

@BUTACUP : thanks : My simple question is - how to say the following... 1. I wake up my brother every morning at 6 am . 2.mother was bathing her baby . 2.To explain in the restaurant about BUFFET TO GUEST : vous vous servez directement- is it correct- or how to explain ... --/ the above mentioned examples do we have to use reflexive verb or not - how to translate in French... Thanks in advance for replying me ...

[@-ShahdSamehHassan]

Thanks it was a confusing topic but now I get it Merci

[@joshuagrant5227]

So....j’mappele is “I myself called”....or in English “I call myself”. 6 months into French and I’ve only now figured this out.

[@deadsea2004]

Whats the difference between "Je suis appelle Ken" and "Je m'appelle Ken"? Both appears to mean (in English) "I am called Ken", but you don't see the former used.

[@shallusharma2626]

You are really good at French

[@sarbjeetgill4077]

[@somyavalecha]

Thats a lot of money O-O

[@tommyshelby8002]

Same I an Indian

[@gregguillot7767]

Excellent lesson! You explained this SO well. I understand the concept of reflexive verbs. Washing one's self, etc makes sense. But, there are some verbs that I can't figure out WHY they're reflexive. Take "se souvenir" for example. "I remember that movie" becomes "Je me souviens de ce film". Why is that? In this example, I'm not "remembering myself", but I'm remembering something which has nothing to do with myself...a movie. If you have an explanation for this, I'd sure take it!

[@cherianchirackaljoseph4933]

Here is a weird one to translate: English: I have not looked at myself in the mirror French:??

[@learnfrenchwithalexa]

je ne me suis pas regardé dans le miroir.

[@cherianchirackaljoseph4933]

Thanks for replying

[@SpecklesTeeV]

This is only for present tense? What about for passe compose?

[@Gary-pe4ce]

All reflexive verbs uses être as their auxiliary verb no questions. For example Il s'est réveillé à 8h. (He woke up at 8h) Il a réveille sa fille/il l'a réveillée (he woke his daughter up / he woke her up)

[@srikanthneelamraju3039]

Thank you so much for the video but can someone please explain me the logic behind writing these phrases "Je te propose" (I propose you) or "Je t'invite"(I invite you) and "Tu me manques tellement" (I miss you so much). Can't they be written in any other way. It appears quite confusing to me. I have my exam coming up in like 3 days. I would really appreciate and be thankful to you if you could kindly help me understand this concept. Merci beaucoup!

[@ZofiaJW]

Great discovery at the end! I found out finally where "m'appelle" came from. I remember your first lesson of all, I've learned it by hard then and now understand the structure. Great! 😊 Thank you!

[@wellcubed9626]

Sometimes,why a reflexive pronoun is used on a wrong pronoun to reduce writing or speaking like je t'adore,je t'appelle....these are some examples that's I've heard or atleast seen somewhere.so is this completely wrong or is it just a wrong but lazy way of speaking French?

[@suecopen6005]

Trying to figure out where supplemental is ? I bought $15 a month subscription but can’t find anything but videos .

[@PrincessESKing]

I am really enjoying the teachings ,wish you were my lecturer I should have been a perfect and eloquent French speaker merci, merci

[@Daryamakeupartist]

Merci beaucoup Alexa. I always practice with your videos ... All of your videos are useful

[@CraigDG]

Ah thankyou so very very much Alexa for this lesson on Reflexive verbs. i have come to understand the meaning and usage of these in French, after watching some captioned french films and news and reading some material. i think i can recognise them now, and thanks to you, they are no longer one of those difficult things to overcome for me. Merci..xxxxxxxxx

[@dlemon2783]

Hi there, the "tablette" you're using to write and teach is interesting. What is that? Is it available in amazon? Anyone who knows if Alexa does not see this message? Thanks.

[@asikanonso858]

So if I say, tu lève a quelle heures? Will I not be asking "you" when you wake up. What's the difference between this last sentence and the sentence with the "te".

[@2380Shaw]

How do you know when to make a pronomial verb in passé composé, infinitive, present or imparfait. That is killing me. It's like when I go to answer online for my French class it's just marking me wrong on just about every single problem no matter what way I answer just to piss me off.

[@JV-kk9ku]

It depends of the context of the sentence. If you say "Je suis allé à la boulangerie." : I went to the bakery. This action is isolated, and it is over. "J'allais à la boulangerie lorsque j'ai rencontré tes parents par hasard" : I was going to the bakery when I met by chance your parents. In that case you were going to the bakery AND you met the parents of the other person, two actions in one sentence. You will use imparfait to describe the main action, the secondary will be passé composé. Some verbs have to be used with a pronoun to describe the fact that two persons are doing something for each other and to know if you have to use "être" or "avoir" it is a little difficult but to sum it up I'd say that if you make an action that concerns yourself you will use "être" : Je suis venu : I came - Tu es parti : You left But if you apply an action to somebody, you will use "avoir" : J'ai demandé à ma mère : I asked to my mother ... Obviously, "être" and "avoir" will be conjugated following the tense of your sentence.

[@jaheimhaywood5900]

Bonjour Alexa, j'aime bien cette vidéo mais j'aimerais vous demander si c'est possible pour vous faites une vidéo expliquant les verbes réciproques Svp

[@PeakHealthTypicalLiving]

Bonjour Alexa. je pense que "It" peux utilisé aussi dans les 'Verbes Reflechis. Comment vous dire "It washes itself" en Français? Je me demandais. Par exemple "(Le chat) il se lave. Est-ce exact? J'aime beaucoup votre videos. Gardez toujour en securité.

[@lesheinen6116]

The confusion for me is that these verbs are called "reflexive verbs" rather than classifying this as a "reflexive state for verbs". ANY verb can be made to be reflexive (although it may not make a lot of sense such as "manger") and so to make it seem as though it is a special category of verbs made it confusing for me. I rather think of it as a separate state for verbs.

[@saleemafridi5778]

What is the name of this book Madame . Can you write here please . I want to use this book to learn verbs. I am watching your videos. Which help me a lot . Thank you so much.
