I wish your explanation of reflexive verbs was around when I was learning Spanish. That's the best and easiest explanation I've heard.Thank you for spending the time and money (microphone) to make all these videos.
amazing thanks like literally now i don't need tuitions and what i learnt in my class in 1 hour(which i did not understand at all!)that i learnt in 5 mins. thank you so much for clearing all my doubts
This is very helpful... I add a category "special meaning or translation".... e.g. demander to ask, se demander to wonder... aller to go s'en aller to go away, to depart etc etc...... there is also, peut-être, a category that I call JUST BECAUSE ... that is the way it is and makes no sense whatsoever to the English speaker..... I think it is helpful to present these verbs as les verbes pronominaux .... most textbooks present them as reflexive verbs, which, unfortunately, is only the tip of the iceberg.
Thank you very much it's really helpful but I have a question, what do you mean exactly by the reflexive pronoun agrees with the subject or the past participle?
It is meant that "Je " will be used with "me" . You don't need reflexive verbs if you are using other person for action. I wash myself = Je me lave. I wash him= je le lave. therefore in second you don't use reflexive verbs. Reflexive verbs are used for actions you do to/by yourself.
Just a small note: When you say reciprocal the emphasis should be on 'recip' and then 'rocal'. You're saying 'reci' and 'procal' and it sounds a bit strange. The forvo pronunciation for the word from the UK speaker is a good example of it said properly :)
+Beta Vulgaris (A View From Europe) Lol I still have plenty to learn I'm sure :) Thanks for the tip. I hope my mistakes give others the confidence to not be scared of speaking a foreign language and making their own mistakes :)
***** I just moved to France and i feel like an idiot every time i open my mouth! My wife did comment that she's glad you have an English accent and not one of those annoying faux-American ones so that's a bit of praise for you at the same time :)
Beta Vulgaris That's definitely a compliment given that I'm not English! lol. Thanks. I'm sure you'll be fine in France. I don't know where you come from but many Brits live in France, so you won't be the only English speaker French people will have heard speak French! No need to feel like an idiot :) In fact, people will appreciate you trying even if you make lots of mistakes!
***** There is a thing in England where people say 'the French HATE the English!' and stuff like that. Not true at all, we've been very welcomed here by everyone, but maybe it's because we have not spoken English once to them - we always always speak French only in our village and i think people appreciate it.
Beta Vulgaris I also heard the opposite, that is 'The English hate the French'. Rubbish. Someone at work told me once 'French people are so rude!' I fount it ironic given the fact the comment in itself was rude, being as it was knowingly said to a French person for no reason. I just think some people are stupid lol. You can't tar everyone with the same brush, just because they share a nationality!
Je me suis coupée...I did it to myself. Elle s'est fait mal...she hurt herself. How are both of these not the same? They both did it to themselves, if you ask yourself the question "Who or what did the action". I love all of your videos, by the way!
Johnny Matherne Yes you're right, they're both the same in that sense. Is there something you don't understand or an error you've spotted in the video?
so for dual sentences construction, should it be : est-ce que vous venez vous asseyez ? or est-ce que vous vous venez asseoir or est-ce vous venez vous asseoir ? (in responding to a question : demandez à vos amis s'ils viennent s'asseoir): Thanks:
vous l'avez bien expliqué Madame j'ai un doute s'il vous plait ..le verbe s'inscrire ce la appartient à Reflexive??? parceque c'est moi qui vas m'inscrire?
She dresses herself - Elle s'habille She dressed herself - Elle s'est habillee She haven't got dressed herself - Elle ne s'est pas habillee Are these 3 sentences correct?)
I wanted to express in a comment how sweet your voice is, and found that almost everyone mentioned that in their comment. Excellent channel and clearly explained lessons. Attach a photo of yourself in the next video you upload s'il vous plait :)
+Justin Hadiwijaya Horman What part don't you understand? In order to find a direct object, you need to ask 'who' or 'what' after the verb. To find the indirect object you have to ask "who to". Past participles have to agree with preceding direct objects (that is those placed before the verb), however, past participles don't agree with preceding indirect objects.
Pourquoi est-ce que quand vous dites "I miss you", c'est TU me manques et ce n'est pas JE me manque? I know that if you said Je me manque you would be saying I miss myself but why is it tu me manques? Aren't you saying you miss me? You will see me asking a lot of questions here in there lol!
Khushi Me That's kinda mean. All channels especially this one are quite helpful and help me get through my french exams at school. Just because you didn't understand something there doesn't mean you have to discredit her.
0Morpheus9 As far as I know, the tense is not carried by "washed" in "get washed" but by "get". "Get" being in the present tense, "get washed" doesn't refer to the past. To me a structure such as "get washed" implies a repetitive action. e.g: I get washed every day at 7am. After doing a bit of research it has come to my attention that in some areas / countries, "get washed" implies someone else does it for you. However, where I live (UK) "get washed" is used with the same meaning as "wash". Maybe that's where some of the confusion comes from. All this to say, here, "to wash (oneself)" and "to get (oneself) washed" are used interchangeably, and so could both be used to translate "se laver". Hope this makes sense.

I know what you mean, I'm learning Spanish :). Glad you liked the video :)
Are all these verb constructions just different tenses?
+Praneetha K The tenses used in this video are the present and the passé composé. :)
Just a small note:
When you say reciprocal the emphasis should be on 'recip' and then 'rocal'. You're saying 'reci' and 'procal' and it sounds a bit strange.
The forvo pronunciation for the word from the UK speaker is a good example of it said properly :)

can you show me how to download this video,SVP? I can't open it after download
I don't know how to download YT videos, doesn't it work when you play it from YT?
I want to download it from YT and store it in my laptop so that I can watch it any time I want
Oh right.. I dunno how to do that sorry..
thank you so much :)
Je me suis coupée...I did it to myself. Elle s'est fait mal...she hurt herself. How are both of these not the same? They both did it to themselves, if you ask yourself the question "Who or what did the action". I love all of your videos, by the way!

Est-ce que vous venez vous asseoir? :)
Very nice and be pleasant by God and 🎆😊👍
Merci pour l'explication avec "dual-verb constructions"! :D
vous l'avez bien expliqué Madame j'ai un doute s'il vous plait ..le verbe s'inscrire ce la appartient à Reflexive??? parceque c'est moi qui vas m'inscrire?
+hemananda Vaddhiparthy Oui, s'inscrire est un verbe pronominal :)
you said it very nicely but you were talking to low
I think it should be:
"A pronominal verb is preceded by a reflexive pronoun which agrees with the subject."
She dresses herself - Elle s'habille
She dressed herself - Elle s'est habillee
She haven't got dressed herself - Elle ne s'est pas habillee
Are these 3 sentences correct?)
I wanted to express in a comment how sweet your voice is, and found that almost everyone mentioned that in their comment.
Excellent channel and clearly explained lessons.
Attach a photo of yourself in the next video you upload s'il vous plait :)
+NAZWAF Thank you! :)
I only don't understand at 8:16 . Between indirect and direct.
+Justin Hadiwijaya Horman What part don't you understand? In order to find a direct object, you need to ask 'who' or 'what' after the verb. To find the indirect object you have to ask "who to". Past participles have to agree with preceding direct objects (that is those placed before the verb), however, past participles don't agree with preceding indirect objects.
Indirect object? Pardon, je comprends seulement un peu.
We(females)spoke to ourselves - Nous nous sommes parlées.
But,
We(females) spoke to eachother - Nous nous sommes parlé.
i am watching this the night before my exam......lol wish me luck
This is not explanation this is only reading stuff from ppt this is bad
supeeer
Pourquoi est-ce que quand vous dites "I miss you", c'est TU me manques et ce n'est pas JE me manque? I know that if you said Je me manque you would be saying I miss myself but why is it tu me manques? Aren't you saying you miss me? You will see me asking a lot of questions here in there lol!
+Jelani Steans Tu me manques literally means you're missing to me... It's one of those expressions that simply can't be translated word for word...
i am morocan i want to student english i love the girls américain
and french
gud video
Better than learn French with Alexa
Khushi Me That's kinda mean. All channels especially this one are quite helpful and help me get through my french exams at school. Just because you didn't understand something there doesn't mean you have to discredit her.
Why am I paying the university to teach me French and not you
You have used "get washed" when explaining "se laver" with various pronouns... it conveys a past tense meaning. Would not "wash" be more appropriate?
0Morpheus9 As far as I know, the tense is not carried by "washed" in "get washed" but by "get". "Get" being in the present tense, "get washed" doesn't refer to the past. To me a structure such as "get washed" implies a repetitive action. e.g: I get washed every day at 7am.
