Pronominal verbs or “verbes pronominaux” also called reflexive verbs hold an important part in the French language. They are always used with reflexive pronouns that replace the subject only. These are me, m’, te, t’, se, s’, nous, vous. Throughout this chapter we will explore the use, the form and the types of the pronominal verbs. We will also learn how to conjugate the pronominal verbs into the present simple, the passé composé, the imperfect tense, the future simple, the subjunctive, the imperative, and the present and past conditional.
A verb in the pronominal form when conjugated into the past conditional always uses the auxiliary “être”.
Let’s conjugate the verb se conduire into the past conditional and the verb conduire and see the difference between the two verbs in terms of the form.
A verb in the pronominal form when conjugated into the past conditional always uses the auxiliary “être”.
Let’s conjugate the verb se conduire into the past conditional and the verb conduire and see the difference between the two verbs in terms of the form.
