Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive verbs can be conjugated in any tense/mood. As the action reflects back on the subject, a reflexive pronoun accompanies the verb in all tenses. The following charts show these pronouns.
| Singular | Plural | |
| 1st person | me (m’) – myself | nous – ourselves |
| 2nd person | te (t’) – yourself | vous – yourself / yourselves |
| 3rd person | se (s’) – himself, herself | se (s’) – themselves |
The reflexive pronoun can also have a reciprocal meaning of ‘each other’. For example while ‘on se parle’ could mean ‘we are talking to ourselves’, it is much more likely to mean ‘we are talking to each other’.
