Reflexive pronouns work the following way with reflexive verbs, verbs using se:
se regarder .... to look at one another
se promener .... to take a walk
Note: se becomes s' when the following verb starts with a vowel:
s'amuser .... to have fun
| personalpronoun | reflexivepronoun | verb |
| je | me/m’ | verb |
| tu | te/t’ | verb |
| elle | se/s’ | verb |
| il | se/s’ | verb |
| on | se/s’ | verb |
| nous | nous | verb |
| vous | vous | verb |
| ils | se/s’ | verb |
| elles | se/s’ | verb |
In context
- Elle s'appelle Marie - Her name is Marie (She names herself Marie)
- Il s'amuse - He's having fun (He keeps himself amused)
