What are reflexive pronouns?


We use reflexive pronouns (les pronoms réfléchis) with pronominal verbs. The French
reflexive pronouns are me, te, se, nous, vous, and se. They always agree with the subject they
refer to and correspond to the English words myself, yourself etc. There are also stressed
reflexive pronouns (moi, toi, soi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles) that are used to form
the imperative with pronominal verbs.

Master the use of reflexive pronouns with Lingolia’s quick and easy examples, then put your

How to use reflexive pronouns in French


We use reflexive pronouns with reflexive verbs in the sense of oneself. They come after
the subject pronoun and before the verb, and they always agree with the subject they refer to
in number and gender.

Examples:
Je me regarde dans le miroir.
Je me demande si je suis bien habillé.

What is a stressed reflexive pronoun?

There are two types of reflexive pronouns in French: normal reflexive pronouns and stressed
or strong reflexive pronouns. Normal reflexive pronouns always appear together with a verb;
they cannot stand alone.

Examples:
Je me prépare.
Je me suis préparé.
Ne te prépare pas.

Stressed reflexive pronouns are used in the positive imperative of reflexive verbs. In this
case, the reflexive pronouns moi, toi and lui come after the verb and are connected with a
hyphen.

Example:
Prépare-toi.

Remember: when we use the negative imperative we place normal reflexive pronouns (me,


te, se…) before the verb without a hyphen.

Example:
Ne te prépare pas.

We use the stressed reflexive pronoun soi:

 when the subject is undefined or neutral

Example:
Il est important de prendre du temps pour soi.
 with on, chacun, tout le monde, personne, celui qui

Example:
Chacun reste chez soi.
