Pronominal Verbs reflexive verbs are conjugated like normal verbs
except they are preceeded by reflexive pronouns.

There are 4 categories of pronominal verbs:
1) Express that the subject and the object are doing
something to eachother - reciprocal verbs
ex: Les tudiants se parlent -> The students are talking to eachother.
2) Express that the subject is doing something to
himself/herself - reflexive verbs
ex: Chaque matin, je me brosse mes dents -> Every morning I brush my
teeth.
3) Verbs that are used only as reflexives and cannot always be trasnlated.
ex: Il se souviennent bien de leur premier professeur franais.
-> They remember well their first french professor.
4) A reflexive contruction is often used in french to avoid a passive
contruction.
ex: Comment est-ce que cela se fait? -> How is that done?
A. USES
When two verbs follow one another without a conjunction between, the first verb is
conjugated and the second is in the infinitive.
Je veux suivre ce cours
When reflexive verbs are used in the infinitive, the reflexive pronoun agrees with the
subject of the main verb.
Nous esprons nous inscrire sans problmes.
Following a preposition
Il travaille dur afin davoir de donnes notes.
After apres, the past infinitive must be used
Apres avoir fini ses tudes, elle est retourne chez ses parents.
As the subject of a sentence.
Bosser la dernire minute, ce nest pas une bonne ide.
B. STRUCTURE - Infinitives
Past Tense of the Infinitive
tudier avoir tudi
rendre avoir rendu
rentrer tre rentr(e)
sincrire stre inscrit(e)(s)
Past Infinitive Present Inf.
III. Infinitives

To form the past tense of the infinitive (or the pass compos)
you need an auxiliary verb + a past participle.
The auxiliary is either avoir or tre depending on your infinitive.
If the infinitive requires tre as the auxiliary verb, then the two must
agree in gender and number.
D
evenir
R evenir
M ourir
R ester
S ortir
V enir
A aller
N aitre
D escendre
E ntrer
R etourner
T omber
R entre
A rriver
M ontrer
P artir
P asser
The following verbs in the list use tre as an auxiliary.
Every other infinitive uses avoir and does not need to agree:
